There were seven companies in cities associated with Ramsey County, Minnesota, that received seven FDA inspections in November 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 250% increase over the number of companies inspected in the previous month, when two companies received two inspections.

Most of the companies inspected at the time were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector. The second most common type of company inspected period worked in the Biologics and Devices sectors.

There were four companies in line with FDA regulations who don’t need to adjust their management operations or regulatory/administrative actions. Three should take voluntary action to correct the organization's management 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.
