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 July, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 50% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous month.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not have a written hazard analysis.
• You did not document that you approved a foreign supplier based on an evaluation that you conducted of the foreign supplier's performance and the risk posed by a food or based on a review and assessment of another entity's evaluation of a foreign supplier's performance and the risk posed by a food.
• You did not conduct and document or obtain documentation of one or more supplier verification activities before importing the food into the United States.

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.
