During an inspection on April 1, 2024, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cited Filthy Food, LLC in Miami for four violations concerning foodborne biological hazards, according to data posted on the FDA’s website.
The FDA website indicates that the citations were delivered to the company as follows:
- ‘You did not provide FDA with information on the scheduled process for a new acidified food before packing the food.’
- ‘Appropriate quality control procedures are not employed to ensure that finished foods do not present a health hazard.’
- ‘Each container is not marked with an identifying code specifying the establishment where the product was packed and packing period.’
- ‘A scheduled process was not established by a qualified person who has expert knowledge acquired through appropriate training and experience in acidification and processing of acidified foods.’
The FDA routinely inspects facilities across the nation to determine if the workplace and their products are compliant with FDA-regulated laws and regulations implemented to improve overall public health. Inspection results are then disclosed publicly.
According to its website, the FDA is a government agency that is primarily responsible for monitoring the production and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical supplies and tobacco products for safety and quality.
