This is an 8.3% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous year.

Of the 38 citations issued, the most common citations were 'You did not conduct and document your hazard analysis' and 'You did not develop an FSVP'.

Most of the companies cited were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector. The second most common type of company cited in the time period worked in the the Devices sector.

Of the companies cited, 10 should take voluntary actions to correct their managing operations (90.9%). Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions (9.1%).

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.
