## Details

- Record Type: WARNING_LETTER
- Company Name: International Marine Products, Inc.
- Inspection Date: 2014-08-27
- Product Type: Food
- Office Name: San Francisco District Office
- Summary: On October 29, 2014, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to International Marine Products, Inc. following an inspection of their Las Vegas, NV facility from August 25-27, 2014. The inspection revealed serious violations of the seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulation (21 CFR Part 123), rendering their ready-to-eat seafood products, including tuna, salmon, yellowtail, crabmeat, and anchovy fillets, adulterated under 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4).

Key violations include:
1.  **Lack of HACCP Plans:** The firm failed to have written HACCP plans for receiving and storing pasteurized canned crabmeat (to control *Clostridium botulinum*) and refrigerated marinated anchovy fillets (to control histamine and pathogen growth).
2.  **Inadequate Critical Limits:** The HACCP plans for vacuum-packaged yellowtail and raw salmon listed inadequate critical limits at the "Receiving" critical control point, failing to control pathogens, *Clostridium botulinum* toxin, and scombrotoxin formation.
3.  **Inadequate Monitoring Procedures:** The HACCP plan for raw salmon had an inadequate monitoring procedure and frequency at the "Receiving" critical control point for pathogen control.
4.  **Failure to Implement Monitoring Procedures:** The firm did not follow its own monitoring
