There were two companies in cities associated with Tarrant County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county over the first quarter of 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not store or transport a food under conditions that protect against allergen cross-contact, contamination and deterioration.
• Potential suppliers, contractors and consultants were not evaluated and selected based on their ability to meet specified requirements.
• Procedures have not been adequately established to control product that does not conform to specified requirements.

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.
