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

This is an increase over the number of companies cited in the previous month.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not take a reasonable measure or precaution related to personnel practices.
• You did not exclude pests from your food plant to protect against contamination of food.
• You did not clean and sanitize your utensils or equipment as frequently as necessary to protect against contamination of food.

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.
