There were two companies in cities associated with Maricopa County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county over the third quarter of 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 100% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county were 'Routine calibration, inspection and checking of automatic equipment is not performed according to a written program designed to assure proper performance' and 'You did not clean and sanitize your utensils or equipment in a manner that protects against allergen cross-contact'.

Both companies cited should take a voluntary action to correct its managing operations (50%).

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.
