As part of its enforcement activities, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration sends warning letters to entities under its jurisdiction. Some letters are not posted for public view until weeks or months after they are sent. Business owners generally have 15 working days to respond to FDA warning letters. Warning letters often are not issued until companies have been given months or years to correct problems. Portions of the letters are commonly redacted from public view.
The FDA has issued warning letters to bakeries in New Jersey and California after inspections found significant food safety violations involving allergen controls, sanitation practices, pest activity, preventive controls, and labeling deficiencies.
The agency said the violations could allow food to become adulterated under federal law because products were prepared, packed or held under insanitary conditions that may render them injurious to health.
