FDA warns New York egg producer after violations of federal law discovered

As part of its enforcement activities, the Food and Drug Administration issues warning letters to entities under its jurisdiction. Some letters are not published publicly for several weeks or months after they are sent. Business owners have 15 days to respond to FDA warning letters. Warning letters are often not issued until the company has been given months or years to correct the problems. As a rule, parts of letters are hidden from public view.

In a Sept. 24 alert, the Food and Drug Administration outlined details of an inspection from Feb. 24, 2025, to April 14, 2025, of North Creek Farm, a shell egg farm where shell eggs are washed, graded and packaged, located in Little Falls, New York. During the inspection, FDA investigators noted serious violations of regulations to prevent the introduction of Salmonella Enteritidis into shell eggs during production, storage and transportation. Upon completion of the inspection, FDA investigators issued FDA Form 483, Inspection Observations, which lists the deviations from federal law found on your farm.
