FDA issued 3 citations in cities across Miami-Dade County in June

There were two companies in a city associated with Miami-Dade County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county in June, 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 maintain your plant in a clean and sanitary condition and in adequate repair.
• You are not monitoring the sanitation conditions and practices with sufficient frequency to assure conformance with current good manufacturing practice including condition and cleanliness of food contact surfaces, maintenance of hand washing, hand sanitizing, and toilet facilities and protection of food, food packaging material, and food contact surfaces from adulteration.
• Your HACCP plan does not list one or more of the critical limits that must be met at each critical control point.

Both 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.

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.
