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

This is a 33.3% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not have a written hazard analysis.
• You did not conduct and document or obtain documentation of one or more supplier verification activities before importing the food into the United States.
• You did not keep the grounds around your plant in a condition that would protect against the contamination of food.

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.
