In response to these analytical findings, you conducted a voluntary recall of the imported fresh enoki mushroom products on March 23, 2022.\n\nDuring the most recent inspection, we found that you are not in compliance with the requirements of 21 CFR part 1, subpart L for the following foods you import: enoki mushrooms imported from (b)(4) located in the Republic of Korea; oyster mushrooms imported from (b)(4) located in the Republic of Korea; and enoki mushrooms, shitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms imported from (b)(4) located in the Republic of Korea.

If you are a very small importer, for each food you import, you must obtain written assurance, in accordance with 21 CFR 1.512(b)(3), before importing the food and at least every two years thereafter, that your foreign supplier is producing the food in compliance with processes and procedures that provide at least the same level of public health protection as those required under section 418 or 419 of the FD&C Act, if either is applicable, and the implementing regulations, and is producing the food in compliance with sections 402 and 403(w) (if applicable) of the FD&C Act.

(b)(4) was subsequently placed on Import Alert # 25-21, “Detention Without Physical Examination of Enoki Mushrooms from the Republic of Korea and China due to Listeria Monocytogenes.”\n\nAlthough you stated during the inspection that you would no longer import enoki mushrooms from any foreign suppliers, you did not document this corrective action, or any other corrective actions taken by you in response to this Listeria monocytogenes contamination.\n\nThe above violations are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations of the FSVP requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in compliance with section 805 of the FD&C Act and the implementing regulation in 21 CFR part 1, subpart L.\n\nThis letter notifies you of our concerns and provides you an opportunity to address them.
