This is a 32.8% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous year.

Of the 99 citations issued, the most common citation was 'You did not develop an FSVP'.

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

Of the companies cited, 37 should take voluntary actions to correct their managing operations (94.9%). Additionally, two companies had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions (5.1%).

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.
