FDA WARNING_LETTER - Chaur Fong Inc. dba 888 Food Company - June 28, 2022

On July 29, 2022, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Mr. Wong, owner of a seafood processing facility at 2111 Chico Ave, South El Monte, CA 91733, following an inspection from June 9-28, 2022. The inspection revealed serious violations of the seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulation (21 CFR Part 123) and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation (21 CFR Part 110).

Specifically, the firm's Ho King brand Featherback Fish Balls and Giai Phat brand Fish Balls were deemed adulterated under Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as they were prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions.

Two significant violations were identified: 1. The HACCP plan for Refrigerated Seafood RTE Products (e.g., Ho King brand Fried Fish Balls) lacked a critical limit at the (b)(4) Stage critical control point to control *Clostridium botulinum* toxin formation. The plan did not specify the maximum thickness of packaged fish products in accordance with a validated study, nor did it include corresponding monitoring procedures and recordkeeping. The firm's July 5, 2022, response was inadequate, failing to provide the missing critical limit or documentation of monitoring. 2.
