POST inspection

If FDA Issues a FORM 483, Prepare a Written Response: 

During the exit interview, the FDA Investigators will likely present their observations, findings and conclusions. In most cases, any regulatory or food safety violations will be documented in an FDA FORM 483.

Although a response is not required by law, a company is generally expected to provide a written response within 15 business days. If the written response adequately addresses FDA’s concerns, FDA will not pursue further regulatory action.

If the response is inadequate, however, the agency may issue a “Warning Letter” threatening to withdraw the company’s registration and prevent it from producing product.

 

Form 483’s written response should include

The written response should include specifics: 

  • Was the finding an oversight/one-time occurrence or systematic
  • What corrective actions will be taken and why the proposed response will correct the issue.
  • Provide a reasonable timeline for the correction
  • If the quality head is in disagreement with an observation, respond with facts and verifiable evidence.
  • Address each particular observation or finding, point by point.
  • The reply should be sent within two weeks.
  • Maintain a copy of the final signed responsein your office

 

If a 483 is issued, make a written response by including the specifics.


Support Your Written Response with Documentation:

When FDA issues a FORM 483 or “Warning Letter,” make sure your response is appropriately supported with adequate documentation.

 For instance, FDA will not be satisfied if you simply state in your response that you corrected a problem that the FDA Investigators observed by “conducting additional employee training.”

Rather, in addition to stating that you completed the training, FDA will expect you to attach a training log or other document to your response which provides evidencing that the training was, in fact, completed.

 

If FDA Suggests a Recall, Consult Your FDA Counsel: 

Sometimes the FDA Investigators will observe conditions they believe warrant a recall. The decision whether to announce a recall in the first instance, and any determinations regarding the scope of any such recall, can vary greatly depending upon the facts and data. 

Any recall decisions should thus be made very carefully, and only after consultation with an experienced FDA compliance attorney. Many companies have successfully convinced FDA, based upon the availability of supporting facts, forensic analysis and scientific data, that the agency is incorrect and a recall is not needed, or the scope can be significantly limited.
