There were two companies in cities associated with Plymouth County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections 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:
- Your written sanitation preventive control and verification procedures were not appropriate to significantly minimize or prevent the hazard requiring a preventive control.
- You did not provide FDA with information on the scheduled process for a new acidified food before packing the food.
- Operators of processing and packaging systems are not under the operating supervision of a person who has attended and satisfactorily completed a school approved by the Commissioner.
Both 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.
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.
