YS Group Inc. – FDA Warning Letter, May 12, 2026

YS Group Inc., located in Arcadia, California, received an FDA warning letter following an inspection conducted from April 30 to May 12, 2026. The inspection assessed the company"s compliance with the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. These regulations mandate that importers perform risk-based activities to ensure that imported food meets U.S. safety standards. The FDA found that YS Group Inc. failed to develop or maintain a verification program for several products, including tofu skin, dried seaweed, and buckwheat flour. While the company provided some documentation in response to initial findings, the FDA determined the records were inadequate. Specifically, the company submitted safety plans for fish products that were irrelevant to the imported goods in question and failed to provide supporting evidence for their corrective actions. To resolve these issues, the company must submit a written response within 15 working days detailing their corrective measures. This response must include documentation such as established verification programs and implementation records. Failure to address these violations may lead the FDA to refuse entry of the company’s food imports into the United States or place them on a detention list, which allows for seizure without physical examination.
