MANUFACTURER/ SHIPPER I.D.#: All except as shown on Attachment. IMPORTER'S I.D. # : N/A CHARGE : "The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to Section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to consist in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance, or is otherwise unfit for food in that it contains insect, rodent, animal and/or other filth [Adulteration, Section 402(a)(3).]" RECOMMENDING OFFICE : Division of Import Operations & Policy, HFC-170 REASON FOR ALERT : This alert was initially issued when, for a period from October 1, 1981 through March 31, 1982, 20 of 22 samples (91%) of dried fungus (mushrooms) from Hong Kong and the Peoples Republic of China (PROC) were detained for filth. The 20 detentions represented 14 different packers. At that time, it was reported that the products were repacked or from the PROC even though the shippers were from Hong Kong and therefore, both countries were combined. Review of FY 92 detention data indicated that the filth problem in these products continues. Of 68 detentions made in FY 92, which represented 37 manufacturers/shippers from the two countries, 41 of these shipments or 60%, resulted in refusals. INSTRUCTIONS : Automatically detain all shipments of dried fungi and dried mushrooms for filth from Hong Kong and Peoples Republic of China, except for those firms listed in the Attachment to this alert. PRIORITIZATION GUIDANCE : No purging is required. KEYWORDS : Dried Fungus, Dried Mushrooms, Fungus, Mushrooms, Fungi, Freeze Dried PREPARED BY : Linda A. Wisniowski, DIOP, 301-443-6553.
