There were two companies in a city associated with Monroe County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county in April, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is an increase over the number of companies cited in the previous month.
The citations in the county were ‘Plumbing is not maintained so as to prevent contamination of the water supply’ and ‘A water system not protected against backflow’.
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.
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.
