Congressional Seafood Regains Compliance With FDA

Congressional Seafood Co., which was cited by the FDA for failing to follow food safety regulations and ordered to stop distributing fish, has regained compliance after a meeting with FDA officials Wednesday.

The Jessup-based company says it has resumed normal business operations as of Thursday.

Congressional Seafood, which distributes fish and shellfish to restaurants and hotels throughout the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., region, had been warned “on numerous occasions,” according to the FDA, about failing to comply with safety laws. The FDA cited violations that included failure to document that fish were refrigerated at appropriate temperatures and failure to meet sanitation standards or to keep records of compliance.
