SE LA Times

There were 15 companies in cities associated with Los Angeles County that received FDA citations as a result of 15 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 a 46.4% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

Of the 50 citations issued, the most common citation was 'You did not take a reasonable measure or precaution related to personnel practices'.

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

All of the 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.
