There were two companies in a city associated with Hillsborough County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county over the third quarter of 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county include:

You did not take a reasonable measure or precaution related to personnel practices.
You did not exclude pests from your food plant to protect against contamination of food.
Your equipment and utensils were not designed and constructed to be adequately cleaned or maintained to protect against contamination.

Both companies cited were involved in either Food and Cosmetics or Devices sectors.

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.
