CHARGE: "The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to
Section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to consist in whole or

RECOMMENDING
OFFICE: Division of Import Operations, & Policy, HFC-170
REASON FOR
ALERT: During a six month period beginning March 21, 1989, San
Francisco district detained 27 shipments of rice-based
products due to adulteration by filth (involving rat, mouse,
insect, bat, bird, cat, and dog filth). During this same
period, Los Angeles district detained two shipments of
rice-based products due to insect filth.
A review of FY'89 detention data by CFSAN revealed that many
of those detentions involved a limited number of firms and
that the firms listed in Attachment A met the criteria for
**Detention Without Physical Examination.**
Rice-based products that had been detained included, but
were not limited to, rice noodles, rice sticks, flour (rice)
sticks, rice cake mix, glutinous rice mix, rice sauce mix
and rice cake. Review of national detention data for FY'95,
revealed numerous detentions of processed rice-based
products from the listed countries due to filth.
GUIDANCE: Districts may **detain without physical examination** all
shipments of rice-based products from countries,
manufacturers, packers, or shippers identified on
Attachment A, except those exempted firms listed on
Attachment B of this alert.
Increased surveillance of all types of processed rice-based
products (e.g. rice sticks,rice vermicelli, rice cakes,
treated whole grain rice such as glutinous, fragrant,
jasmine rice, etc.) from all countries for filth analysis is
indicated.
PRIORITIZATION
