There were three companies in cities associated with Passaic County that received FDA citations as a result of three inspections conducted in the county over the fourth quarter of 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is a 40% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.
The citations in the county include:
- Your hazard analysis did not identify a hazard that requires a control.
- For an onsite audit, you did not retain documentation of the audit procedures, of any corrective actions taken in response to significant deficiencies identified during the audit and that the audit was conducted by a qualified auditor.
- Your plant did not have adequate sanitary facilities and accommodations.
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.
