North Baltimore Journal

There were 16 companies in the City of Baltimore, Maryland, that received 16 FDA inspections in the second quarter of 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 220% increase over the number of companies inspected in the previous quarter, when five companies received six inspections.

Most of the companies inspected at the time were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector. Both the Devices and Drugs sectors sectors tied for second most common type.

There were nine companies in line with FDA regulations that do not need to adjust their management operations or regulatory/administrative actions (56.3%). Six should take voluntary action to correct the organization's management operations (37.5%). Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions (6.3%).

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.
