This is a 30% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous month.

Of the 23 citations issued, the most common citation was 'You did not document that you conducted an evaluation or reviewed and assessed an evaluation conducted by another entity to determine a foreign supplier's performance and the risk posed by a food'.

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

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.

According to its website, 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.
