How many companies in cities across Orange County received FDA citations in April?

There were two companies in cities associated with Orange County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county in April, 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 were ‘You did not conduct operations under conditions and controls necessary to minimize the potential for contamination of food’ and ‘Your HACCP plan does not include control measures that will consistently produce a 5 log reduction in the most resistant microorganism of public health significance that is likely to occur in the juice, for a period at least as long as the shelf life of the product’.

Both 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.

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.
