## Details

- Record Type: WARNING_LETTER
- Company Name: Ruukoo International Food Market Inc
- Inspection Date: 2026-05-07
- Product Type: Food
- Office Name: Division of Northeast Imports 
- Summary: Ruukoo International Food Market Inc., located in Bronx, New York, received an FDA warning letter following an inspection conducted between April 27 and May 7, 2026. This review, which followed previous inspections in 2020 and 2022, identified significant violations regarding the company"s responsibilities as a food importer. The primary finding was that the company failed to develop, maintain, and follow a Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) for various imported products, specifically fresh yams from multiple international suppliers. While the company provided a sample hazard analysis form, it failed to demonstrate how this document functioned within a comprehensive safety program. These requirements are established under Section 805 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the FSVP regulations (21 CFR Part 1, Subpart L), which mandate that importers verify their foreign suppliers meet U.S. food safety standards. To resolve these issues, the FDA requires a written response within 15 working days detailing the corrective actions taken, including copies of established FSVPs and implementation records. Failure to comply may result in the FDA refusing entry of the company"s food imports or placing them on a detention list, preventing their distribution in the United States.
