There were five companies in cities associated with Montgomery County that received FDA citations as a result of five inspections conducted in the county over the second quarter of 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 25% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not maintain your plant in a clean and sanitary condition and in adequate repair.
• You did not conduct operations under conditions and controls necessary to minimize the potential for growth or survival of microorganisms.
• You did not maintain your plant in adequate repair.

All 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.
