There were four companies in cities associated with Hidalgo County, Texas, that received four FDA inspections in January, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 20% decrease from the number of companies inspected in the previous month, when five companies received five inspections.

The companies inspected were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.

There were two companies in line with FDA regulations who don’t need to adjust their management operations or regulatory/administrative actions. One should take voluntary action to correct the organization's management operations. Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or 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.

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.
