FDA WARNING_LETTER - Jing Sheng Company - July 13, 2012

On November 19, 2012, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Jing Sheng Company following an inspection from July 10-13, 2012. The inspection revealed serious violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

The primary violation involved product misbranding and adulteration: the "Naturally cooked abalone" product was found to be sea snail (Zidona Dufresnei) substituted for Abalone (family Haliotidae), rendering it adulterated under Section 402(b)(2) and misbranded under Section 403(b) and 403(a)(1) due to false labeling.

Further misbranding issues included: * Failure to declare all ingredients (e.g., salt) as required by 21 CFR 101.4(b) (Section 403(i)). * Failure to repeat all required label information in both languages when foreign language is used, as per 21 CFR 101.15(c)(2) (Section 403(f)). * Failure to declare nutrition facts information in accordance with 21 CFR 101.9 (Section 403(q)), including incorrect serving size declaration, missing servings per container, and improper rounding for calories, calories from fat, cholesterol, sugars, Vitamin A, Calcium, and Iron
