The FDA sent a letter to Campbell’s StockPot unit in December, warning of its findings and calling for the company to improve its safety and testing standards, reported Reuters Health.
The regulator said it had inspected the StockPot plant in Woodinville, Washington, where it found “serious deviations” from seafood safety requirements. These included inadequate temperature and cooling time needed to prevent the formation of the food-poisoning toxin botulinum.
