This guidance document represents the Agency's current thinking on its enforcement process concerning the adulteration of tree nuts involving rejects (insect infestation, moldy, rancid, otherwise decomposed, blanks, and shriveled). It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute and regulations.
