Safi Pushcart Supplies Inc – FDA Warning Letter, Aug 6, 2026

On September 9, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to Safi Pushcart Supplies Inc. following an inspection on August 6, 2026. This inspection, which follows previous evaluations in 2018 and 2020, found that the company is in significant violation of the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements mandated by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Specifically, the company failed to develop and maintain a required safety program for several imported products, including basmati rice, basmati sella rice, and soybean/olive oil blends. These regulations ensure that foreign food suppliers meet the same safety standards as domestic producers. Although the company owner previously indicated they were working on these safety plans, the FDA noted that no documentation or proof of implementation was provided. The FDA warned that continued failure to comply could result in the refusal of imported goods at the border or their placement on a detention list. Safi Pushcart Supplies Inc. is required to provide a written response within 15 working days detailing the specific corrective actions taken, including copies of their newly developed safety programs and evidence of their implementation.
