South DFW News

There were five companies in cities associated with Ellis County that received FDA citations as a result of five inspections conducted in the county throughout 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 year.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not collect and hold reserve samples of packaged and labeled dietary supplements that you distributed.
• You did not make and keep written procedures to fulfill the requirements that apply to the review and investigation of a product complaint.
• You did not develop an FSVP.

Most of the companies cited were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.

All of the companies cited should take voluntary actions to correct their 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.
