There were two companies in cities associated with Essex County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county over the third quarter of 2025, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.
Of the four citations issued, the most common citation was ‘You do not have or have not implemented written verification procedures, product specifications and an affirmative step for ensuring that fish and fishery products you import are processed in compliance with the Seafood HACCP regulation’.
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 and quality.
