During an inspection on August 16, 2024, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued two citations to Captain Thomas Trading Company, Inc. in Philadelphia for issues 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 implement the monitoring and recordkeeping procedures listed in your HACCP plan.’
- ‘Your HACCP plan does not list the food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur.’
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.
