DATIL FRESH PRODUCE LLC – FDA Warning Letter, Aug 21, 2026

Datil Fresh Produce LLC received a formal warning from the FDA on September 22, 2026, following inspections held on October 18, 2024, and August 19–21, 2026. The agency determined that the company is in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act because it failed to establish a Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). Specifically, the company did not develop verification procedures for imported scallions, cabbage, and cucumbers to ensure these products meet U.S. safety standards. Under current regulations, importers must proactively verify that their foreign suppliers use processes providing the same level of public health protection required of domestic producers. The FDA noted that the company had not responded to initial inspection findings issued in August 2026. Consequently, the FDA may refuse entry of the company"s food products into the United States or place them on a detention without physical examination list. Datil Fresh Produce LLC is required to submit a written response within 15 working days. This response must outline specific corrective steps taken, include documentation of the newly developed FSVP, and provide a timeline for any pending improvements.
