During a March 12 inspection at Champion Wholesale Foods, LLC in Houston, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued two citations connected to foodborne biological hazards, according to data posted on the FDA’s website.
The FDA website shows the citations given to the company were:
- ‘Your HACCP plan lists monitoring procedures and frequencies that do not ensure compliance with the critical limit.’
- ‘Your HACCP plan lists verification procedures that have not been developed in accordance with 21 CFR 123.8(a) to ensure that your HACCP plan is adequate to control food safety hazards, and is being effectively implemented.’
The FDA regularly inspects food facilities nationwide to determine if workplaces and their products comply with FDA regulations aimed at promoting public health. The outcomes of these inspections are made publicly available.
According to its website, the FDA is a government body chiefly responsible for overseeing the production and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical devices, and tobacco for safety and quality purposes.
