There were three companies in cities associated with Lancaster County that received FDA citations as a result of three inspections conducted in the county over the fourth quarter of 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 200% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

Of the 14 citations issued, the most common citations include:

• Your equipment and utensils were not designed and constructed to be adequately cleaned or maintained to protect against contamination.
• You did not conduct and document your hazard analysis.
• You did not identify a process preventive control for a hazard when one was needed.

Most of the companies cited were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.

Of the companies cited, two should take voluntary actions to correct their managing operations (66.7%). Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions (33.3%).

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.
