There was one company in a city associated with Waldo County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county throughout 2023, 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 year.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not implement the monitoring procedures listed in your HACCP plan.
• Your HACCP plan does not list one or more critical control points that are necessary for each of the identified food safety hazards.
• Your HACCP plan lists a critical limit that does not ensure control of one or more hazards.

The company cited was involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.

The company cited should take a voluntary action to correct its 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.
