Pierce Today

There was one company in a city associated with Pierce County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county over the fourth quarter of 2023, 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 were 'You did not provide FDA with information on the scheduled process for a new acidified food before packing the food' and 'Acidified food is not manufactured in accordance with the scheduled process'.

The company cited was in line with FDA regulations, and doesn't need to adjust its managing operations or regulatory/administrative actions.

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.
