Distribuidora Jazmin – FDA Warning Letter, Jul 23, 2026

The FDA issued a warning letter to Distribuidora Jazmin LLC, based in McAllen, Texas, following an inspection conducted between July 15 and July 23, 2026. This assessment, which followed a previous 2023 inspection, focused on the company’s compliance with the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) regulations under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The primary violation identified was the company’s failure to develop and implement an FSVP for its imported food products, including corn chips. These programs are essential for verifying that foreign suppliers maintain food safety standards equivalent to those required in the United States. While the owner, Mr. Ivan Alfonso Serrano, previously indicated the company would stop importing certain items, the FDA noted that no documentation was provided to support these corrective measures. To resolve these issues, Distribuidora Jazmin LLC must provide a written response within 15 working days detailing its steps toward compliance. This response should include documentation such as established FSVP plans and records of implementation. Failure to rectify these violations may result in the FDA refusing entry of the company’s food imports or placing them on a detention list. The agency stressed the importer"s legal responsibility to ensure all foreign products meet federal safety requirements before entering the domestic market.
