There were two companies in cities associated with Trumbull County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county throughout 2023, 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 year.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not maintain your plant in adequate repair.
• You did not clean and sanitize your utensils or equipment in a manner that protects against allergen cross-contact and contamination.
• You did not conduct operations under conditions and controls necessary to minimize the potential for contamination of food.

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.
