Los Angelas Court Ceased Star SeaFood Company under FDA Request

United States Food and Drug Administration has been tracking a fish packing sea food company (Star Seafood Company) since year 2012. Now after reiterated request to follow drug and safety standards of US, FDA has asked court to cease its production facility.

FDA representative Melinda K. Plaisier said that last step to cease production is taken to protect US citizens. Company was issues a letter to recall its certain products from market which was not up to safety manufacturing standards.


Star SeaFood Company took its specific products off the shelves from local market. Again FDA took inspection in year 2013 and found same issues with manufacturing standards. A formal warning letter is release against firm. Federal authorities did last inspection in year 2014 and finally took their case in LA court for ceasing production.

Melinda said that two harmful bacteria are found in star products. Listeria monocytogenes is commonly known as L. Mono and much dangerous for infants. If inhaled or digested, causes illness and serious fever. Another dangerous bacteria found is Clostridium botulinum which is formerly known as C. Bot. C. Bot is found in much less number of patients but when infection found leads the infected directly to death.

LA Court has ordered its owners to be watched by FDA. Their facility will be halted until all safety standards are met properly.
