Of the three citations issued, the most common citation was ‘You did not implement the monitoring and recordkeeping procedures listed in your HACCP plan’.
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.
