There was one company in a city associated with Harris County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection 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 90.9% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not develop an FSVP.
• In approving your small foreign supplier, you did not document your evaluation of the applicable FDA food safety regulations and information relevant to the foreign supplier's compliance with those regulations.
• You did not establish written procedures for importing a food on a temporary basis from an unapproved foreign supplier.

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.
