- Summary: On June 4-25, 2014, an FDA inspection of NYSW Beverage Brands, Inc. revealed violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations for dietary supplements (21 CFR Part 111), causing products like "VBlast Acai Berry" to be adulterated. Additionally, "VBlast Tropical Punch," "VBlast Gator Pit Energy Formula," and "VBlast Pomegranate + Cherry" were misbranded under 21 CFR Part 101.

Specific CGMP violations included:
1. Failure to establish finished product specifications for identity, purity, strength, and composition (21 CFR 111.70(e)).
2. Failure to establish component specifications for identity, purity, strength, and composition (21 CFR 111.70(b)(1), 111.70(b)(2)).
