During a March 26 inspection focused on foodborne biological hazards, Albanian Products, LLC in Levittown received two citations from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to data provided on the FDA’s website.
The FDA site outlines that citations were given to the company for the following reasons:
- ‘You did not document that you conducted an evaluation or reviewed and assessed an evaluation conducted by another entity to determine a foreign supplier’s performance and the risk posed by a food.’
- ‘You did not conduct and document or obtain documentation of one or more supplier verification activities before importing the food into the United States.’
The agency regularly inspects companies nationwide to confirm workplaces and their products follow FDA-regulated laws implemented for the protection of public health. Outcomes of these inspections are released to the public.
