North Baltimore Journal

There was one company in a city associated with Baltimore County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county over the first quarter of 2024, 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 quarter.

The citations in the county include:

• Acidified food is not manufactured in accordance with the scheduled process.
• You did not exercise sufficient control so that the finished equilibrium pH of an acidified food was not higher than 4.6.
• Records are not maintained of the examination of raw materials, packaging materials and finished products to verify compliance with FDA regulations and guidelines or action levels.

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.
