Somemes, if the observaons are of a severe nature, the FDA may issue a warning leer even without issuing Form 483. Unsasfactory response to the warning leer could lead to further acon including import alert for products or the facility, withholding of product approval, and suspension or cancellaon of manufacturing license.

The FDA calls for a response to the Form 483 observaons within 15 working days. Though a wrien response is not mandatory, it is preferred so that a warning leer can be avoided. The company has to respond to the observaons in detail with reasons for the shortcomings and correcve acon plans. Each observaon should be addressed individually

So, pharma and food plants in countries that export to the USA must adhere to the CGMP (current good manufacturing pracces) as per FDA guidelines. FDA officials visit the facilies to check compliance with the rules.FDA issues form 483 at the compleon of inspecon. If it finds deviaons from CGMP, it is menoned in the form 483. The form specifies areas in which the facility fell short of regulatory expectaons. It is then presented and discussed with the management of the company, Along with the form 483, the FDA also issues an Establishment Inspecon Report (EIR) which specifies whether acon is required to be taken.
