Contact Us TodayFDA compliance in Miami is inseparable from the import trade: the seaport and airport together form one of the largest perishables gateways in the United States, and FDA's local presence is correspondingly focused on entry screening, import alerts, and FSVP enforcement. For the city's manufacturers and repackers, FSMA Preventive Controls obligations sit alongside that import layer — and many businesses hold both roles at once, importing ingredients from Latin America and manufacturing finished product for US retail and Caribbean re-export.
Import alerts allow FDA to detain products without physical examination based on a history of violations — by product, country, or specific firm. Once listed, every entry is detained until you prove compliance, which can require five consecutive clean shipments with private lab analysis. Prevention is cheaper: compliant labelling, verified suppliers, and clean entry data. If you're already listed, we manage the petition process for removal.
Both: the Preventive Controls rule for your manufacturing (food safety plan, PCQI oversight, GMPs under 21 CFR 117) and FSVP for each imported ingredient and foreign supplier. A useful efficiency — where your preventive controls address the hazards in an imported ingredient, your FSVP obligations can align with that analysis rather than duplicate it. We build the two programs as one coherent system.
