There was one company in a city associated with Allen County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county in February, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is an increase over the number of companies cited in the previous month.
The citations in the county were ‘You did not implement one or more mitigation strategies at an actionable process step to provide assurance that the significant vulnerability at the step will be significantly minimized or prevented’ and ‘You did not have a record of taking a required food defense corrective action’.
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.
