There was one company in a city associated with Howard County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county in August, 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:
- You did not take a reasonable measure or precaution related to personnel practices.
- You did not clean and sanitize your utensils or equipment in a manner that protects against contamination.
- You did not implement your sanitation preventive control, monitoring and corrective action procedures.

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 and quality.
