BEAUTY STORE LLC – FDA Warning Letter, May 27, 2026

Beauty Store LLC, located in Kennesaw, Georgia, received a formal warning letter from the FDA following an inspection conducted between May 14 and May 27, 2026. This regulatory review, which followed previous inspections in 2024, evaluated the company’s adherence to the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements established under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The FDA determined that the company failed to comply with federal safety standards intended to ensure that imported food is produced with the same level of public health protection as required for U.S. manufacturers. Specifically, Beauty Store LLC failed to develop or maintain a verification program for several imported products, including brown sauce, concentrates, decaf coffee pods, and chocolate candy. The company also failed to respond to the initial list of observations provided by investigators at the close of the inspection. To resolve these issues, the FDA requires Beauty Store LLC to submit a written response within 15 working days outlining the specific steps taken to correct these violations, including documentation of their new verification procedures. Failure to comply may lead to severe consequences, such as the FDA refusing the entry of the company’s products into the United States or placing them on an import alert list for detention without physical examination.
