## Details

- Record Type: WARNING_LETTER
- Company Name: YAM MAN FOODS LLC
- Inspection Date: 2026-04-23
- Product Type: Food
- Office Name: Division of Northeast Imports 
- Summary: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to Yam Man Foods LLC following an inspection on April 23, 2026, at its Yonkers, New York facility. This inspection followed a series of previous visits conducted between 2021 and 2023. The agency determined that the company is in significant violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) regulations. Specifically, Yam Man Foods LLC failed to develop, maintain, and follow an FSVP for the food products it imports, which include bammies (cassava flatbread), peppers, and breadfruit. Under federal law, importers are required to perform risk-based activities to ensure that foreign-produced food meets the same safety standards as those required in the United States. This includes verifying that fresh produce is grown and harvested under conditions that protect public health. The FDA noted that the company had not yet responded to the initial observations provided at the close of the April inspection. To rectify these issues, Yam Man Foods LLC must submit a written response within 15 working days detailing the specific steps taken to achieve compliance, including copies of their newly established FSVP records. Failure to address these violations may result in the FDA refusing the admission of the company’s products into the country or placing them on detention without physical examination.
