What changed
This document serves as a repository for untitled letters issued by the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) between December 2011 and 2018. These letters address violations of a less severe nature than those warranting a Warning Letter, including issues with manufacturing controls, labeling, and cyber letters sent to internet websites. The collection includes specific instances related to seafood facilities, unapproved food additives, low-acid canned foods, and other food-related compliance issues.
While these untitled letters are non-binding, they indicate areas of FDA enforcement focus and potential compliance gaps for food manufacturers. Companies should review these historical letters to understand common violations and ensure their manufacturing processes and labeling practices align with FDA expectations to avoid more significant regulatory action. No immediate compliance actions are required based on this notice, but it serves as an informational resource for ongoing compliance efforts.
What to do next
- Review historical untitled letters for common violations related to manufacturing controls and labeling.
- Ensure current manufacturing processes and labeling practices align with FDA expectations.
