Import alert listings

An import alert is FDA guidance that lets field staff detain products from listed firms at the border without physical examination (FDA calls this DWPE). Each entry below appears on the Red List of the linked alert, the list of firms subject to that detention, and matched this facility by name and full address. Alert pages can also carry a Green List naming firms FDA excluded from a countrywide alert's detention; Green List entries are not shown on this page.

Public data does not include how many shipments a firm made in total, so these are counts of refusals, and comparisons of refusal shares between firms are not possible from this source.
