How many companies in cities across Alameda County received FDA citations in January?

There was one company in a city associated with Alameda County that received an FDA citation as a result of one inspection conducted in the county in January, 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 only citation issued in the county was delivered as ‘As a very small importer, you did not obtain written assurance, before importing a food, that your foreign supplier produced the food in compliance with process and procedures that provide the required level of public health protection’.

The company cited should take a voluntary action to correct its 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.
