There was one company in a city associated with Shelby 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 an increase over the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.
The citations in the county include:
- A process whose results cannot be fully verified by subsequent inspection and test has not been adequately validated according to established procedures.
- Procedures for finished device acceptance have not been adequately established.
- Procedures for corrective and preventive action have not been adequately established.
Of the companies cited, one should take voluntary action to correct its managing operations. Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions.
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.
