There was one company in a city associated with Franklin County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county over the first quarter of 2024, 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 quarter.

The citations in the county include:

  • You did not store and maintain equipment and tools to protect covered produce from being contaminated with foreseeable hazards.
  • You allowed sprouts to enter commerce prior to receipt of negative pathogen test results.
  • Your required records did not include all necessary information.

The company cited had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions.

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.
