There were four companies in a city associated with Oneida County that received FDA citations as a result of four inspections conducted in the county throughout 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is a 300% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous year.
The citations in the county include:
- You did not have a written food safety plan.
- You did not conspicuously label cattle materials prohibited in animal feed with the statement “Do not feed to animals”.
- You did not mark cattle materials prohibited in animal feed with an agent that can be readily detected on visual inspection.
Most of the companies cited were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.
All of the 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.
