FDA Issues Warning Letter to NC Sprout Growing Facility
FDA issued a Warning Letter to a sprout growing company for issues involving pathogen control as well as making unsubstantiated medical claims regarding the benefits of sprouts.
The company did not discontinue the use of all seeds from a lot which were known to had reason to believe may have been contaminated with a pathogen, and did not ensure that sprouts grown from that lot of seeds did not enter commerce as required by 21 CFR 112.142(b)(1). Specifically, when spent sprout irrigation water (SSIW) samples corresponding to specific seed lots tested positive for pathogens, the company did not discontinue the use of seeds from those lots.
The company did not clean and sanitize food contact surfaces used to grow, harvest, pack, or hold sprouts before contact with seeds or beans used to grow sprouts, as required by 21 CFR 112.143(b)). for example, after treatment the bags are rinsed and reused with no additional cleaning or sanitization performed prior to further contact with seeds or beans.
The environmental monitoring plan did not specify sample collection sites including appropriate food contact and non-food contact surfaces of equipment, and other surfaces within the growing, harvesting, packing, and holding environment, as required by 21 CFR 112.145(c)(3). The HACCP Manager stated that swab locations are determined at random, and the time of sampling varies and may include times when production is not occurring.
FDA reviewed the website listed for Broccoli Sprouts, Deli Blend, and Salad Blend product labels at the internet address, www.sunnycreekfarm.com, in November 2021. The claims on the website establish that the products are drugs under section 201(g)(1)(B) of the Act [21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(B)] because they are intended for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. As explained further below, introducing or delivering these products for introduction, into interstate commerce for such uses violates the Act.
