SGV Standard

There were 13 companies in cities associated with Los Angeles County that received FDA citations as a result of 13 inspections conducted in the county in April, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 62.5% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous month.

Of the 35 citations issued, the most common citations include:

• Your hazard analysis did not identify a hazard that requires a control.
• You did not develop an FSVP.
• You did not document that you conducted an evaluation or reviewed and assessed an evaluation conducted by another entity to determine a foreign supplier's performance and the risk posed by a food.

Most of the companies cited were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.

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.
