The Dutch Kettle, LLC in Bremen, Indiana was inspected by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 22 for foodborne biological hazards and received six citations, according to data posted on the FDA’s official website.

The FDA website indicates that the citations were delivered to the company as follows:

'Acidified food is not manufactured in accordance with the scheduled process.'

'Your hazard analysis did not identify a known or reasonably foreseeable hazard that required a preventive control.'

'Your process controls procedures did not include appropriate parameters and maximum/minimum values.'

'Your process controls monitoring frequency was not adequate.'

'You did not have process controls verification records.'

'Your process controls records were not reviewed within specified timeframes.'

The FDA routinely inspects facilities across the nation to determine if the workplaces and their products are compliant with FDA-regulated laws and regulations implemented to improve overall public health. Inspection results are then disclosed publicly for businesses to consistently make smarter business decisions for the future.

The FDA is a government agency that is primarily responsible for monitoring the manufacturing and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical supplies and tobacco products for safety quality, according to its website.
