San Diego City Wire

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

This is a 100% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous month.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not develop an FSVP.
• You did not conduct and document or obtain documentation of one or more supplier verification activities.
• You did not inspect and maintain food contact surfaces as frequently as necessary to protect against the contamination of produce.

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.
