There was one company in a city associated with Washington County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county throughout 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is a 50% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous year.
The citations in the county include:
- You did not implement your sanitation preventive control procedures.
- Your written sanitation preventive control procedures were not appropriate to significantly minimize or prevent the hazard requiring a preventive control.
- Your written supply-chain program does not provide assurance that a hazard requiring a supply-chain-applied control has been significantly minimized or prevented.
The company cited should take a voluntary action to correct its managing operations.
The FDA routinely inspects facilities across the nation to determine if the workplace and their products are compliant with FDA-regulated laws and regulations implemented to improve overall public health. Inspection results are then disclosed publicly.
According to its website, the FDA is a government agency that is primarily responsible for monitoring the production and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical supplies and tobacco products for safety quality.
