FDA Sends Warning Letter to "Quality Egg"

By Bill Marler, Esq.

Quality Egg still does not seem to get it. According to Bloomberg News, Quality Egg LLC, the producer tied to a salmonella recall, may face U.S. enforcement action unless it fixes health violations at its facilities, regulators said. Conditions that may cause salmonella weren't addressed when regulators inspected Galt, Iowa-based Quality Egg's facilities Aug. 12 to Aug. 30, the Food and Drug Administration said in a warning letter posted today on its website. A lack of action may result in 'seizures and/or injunction,' the agency said. Quality Egg submitted information to the FDA on Oct. 5 reflecting 'discussions with the agency' of corrective actions, the agency said Oct. 15 in the letter. The FDA will inspect facilities to verify those steps were taken, the agency said. The salmonella outbreak is the largest since the Atlanta- based CDC began tracking the illness more than 30 years ago.
