South Hennepin News

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

This is a 100% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous month.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not maintain your plant in a clean and sanitary condition and in adequate repair.
• You did not conduct operations under conditions and controls necessary to minimize the potential for growth or survival of microorganisms.
• You are not monitoring the sanitation conditions and practices with sufficient frequency to assure conformance with current good manufacturing practice including protection of food, food packaging material, and food contact surfaces from adulteration.

Both companies cited were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.

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.

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.
