There were four companies in cities associated with Alameda County that received FDA citations as a result of four inspections conducted in the county in February, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 300% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous month.

Of the 10 citations issued, the most common citations were 'You did not exclude pests from your food plant to protect against contamination of food' and 'You did not take a reasonable measure or precaution related to personnel practices'.

All of the companies cited were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.

All of the 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.

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.
