There were two companies in a city associated with Ramsey County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county over the fourth quarter of 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 33.3% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not perform periodic assays as required for medicated feeds requiring a medicated feed mill license, for each drug or drug combination manufactured.
• You did not implement a corrective action when assay results showed medicated feeds.
• You did not use flushing and sequential production of feeds to prevent unsafe contamination of manufactured feed.

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.

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.
