There was one company in a city associated with Washington County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county in April, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

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

The citations in the county include:

  • Equipment and utensils are not maintained at appropriate intervals to prevent contamination that would alter the safety, identity, strength, quality or purity of the drug product.
  • Written procedures are not followed for the cleaning and maintenance of equipment, including utensils, used in the manufacture, processing, packing or holding of a drug product.
  • Laboratory controls do not include the establishment of scientifically sound and appropriate test procedures designed to assure that in-process materials and drug products conform to appropriate standards of identity, strength, quality and purity.

The company cited was involved in the Drugs 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.
