On July 22, 2019 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it had suspended the food facility registration of Topway Enterprises, Inc, doing business as Kazy’s Gourmet of Houston, Texas.

The suspension follows inspections conducted by the FDA and the Texas Department of State Health Services earlier this year, where sanitation issues were noted, including the presence of listeria

FDA issued a safety alert on July 18, advising restaurants and retailers to stop selling to Topway and to discard recent shipments of Topway’s seafood products.

This is the sixth time the FDA has suspended a facility’s registration since getting the authority to do so from the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act in 2011.

FDA is working with the company to address violations. It notes that after a corrective plan has been established and implemented, the FDA will consider allowing the company to resume operations.
