FDA WARNING_LETTER - Shang Hao Jia, Inc - October 28, 2025

On March 18, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to Shang Hao Jia, Inc., located in South El Monte, California, following an inspection on October 28, 2025. The inspection aimed to determine if the company was meeting safety requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act regarding its Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP). The FDA found that Shang Hao Jia, Inc. failed to develop or maintain the necessary verification programs for several imported items, including spicy shredded tofu, rye soda crackers, and almond cakes from suppliers in China. These programs are essential to ensure that foreign food products meet the same safety standards as those produced in the United States. While the company stated it had stopped importing certain items and initiated a recall for products containing undeclared sesame allergens, they failed to provide evidence of these corrective actions. The FDA requires the company to submit a written response within 15 working days detailing their progress and providing documentation of their updated safety programs. Failure to address these violations may result in the FDA refusing entry of their imported products or placing them on a detention list.
