Dated June 29, 2017 – FDA issues a Warning Letter to Evanger’s Pet Food stating “we found serious violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.”
The FDA website explains a “Warning Letter” as follows: “When FDA finds that a manufacturer has significantly violated FDA regulations, FDA notifies the manufacturer. This notification is often in the form of a Warning Letter. The Warning Letter identifies the violation, such as poor manufacturing practices, problems with claims for what a product can do, or incorrect directions for use. The letter also makes clear that the company must correct the problem and provides directions and a timeframe for the company to inform FDA of its plans for correction. FDA then checks to ensure that the company’s corrections are adequate.”
On June 29, 2017 – FDA issued a Warning Letter to Evanger’s Pet Food in reference to inspection between January 10, 2017 and February 14, 2017 – prompted by the death of a pet and illness of multiple others.
