There was one company in a city associated with Columbiana County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county over the fourth quarter of 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is an increase over the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not identify and evaluate each known or reasonably foreseeable hazard for each type of animal food you manufacture, process, pack or hold in your facility.
• You did not identify and implement preventive controls to ensure that any hazards requiring a preventive control are significantly minimized or prevented.
• Your sanitation controls did not include procedures, practices, and/or processes that ensure sanitary conditions are adequate to significantly minimize or prevent hazards.

The company cited was involved in the Veterinary sector.

The company cited should take a voluntary action to correct its 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.

According to its website, 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.
