There was one company in a city associated with Santa Cruz County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county over the fourth quarter of 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not document that you conducted an evaluation or reviewed and assessed an evaluation conducted by another entity to determine the risk posed by a food.
• You did not establish written procedures to ensure that you import foods only from approved foreign suppliers.
• You did not establish written procedures for ensuring that appropriate foreign supplier verification activities are conducted with respect to a food you import.

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.
