There were 11 companies in the City of Baltimore, Maryland, that received 11 FDA inspections in the fourth quarter of 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is an 83.3% increase over the number of companies inspected in the previous quarter, when six companies received six 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 worked in the Biologics sector.

There were seven companies in line with FDA regulations that do not need to adjust their management operations or regulatory/administrative actions (63.6%). Four should take voluntary action to correct their management operations (36.4%).

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.
