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

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

The citations in the county include:

• Your plant was not constructed to facilitate maintenance and sanitary operations.
• You did not ensure that your cleaning compounds and sanitizing agents are safe and adequate under the conditions of use.
• You did not conduct operations under conditions and controls necessary to minimize the potential for contamination of food and deterioration of food.

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.

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.
