There was one company in a city associated with Fayette County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county throughout 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous year.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not provide FDA with information on the scheduled process for a new acidified food before packing the food.
• Appropriate quality control procedures are not employed to ensure that finished foods do not present a health hazard.
• You did not exercise sufficient control so that the finished equilibrium pH of an acidified food was not higher than 4.6.

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.

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.
