East Montgomery Times

There were three companies in cities associated with Montgomery County that received FDA citations as a result of three inspections conducted in the county throughout 2023, 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 ensure individuals were qualified to perform their assigned duties and have records documenting food hygiene and food safety training.
• Evaluations of out-of-calibration equipment and remedial actions taken were not documented.
• You chose to comply with the requirements for a very small importer, but you did not document that you meet the definition of a very small importer before initially importing a food as a very small importer and annually each year after importing food as a very small importer.

All of the companies cited should take voluntary actions to correct their 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.

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, according to its website.
