Magical Munchies LLC in Monsey, New York was inspected by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 31 for foodborne biological hazards and received five citations, according to data posted on the FDA’s official website.

The FDA website indicates that the citations were delivered to the company as follows:

'You did not take a reasonable measure and precaution related to personnel practices.'

'You did not clean and sanitize your utensils or equipment in a manner that protects against allergen cross-contact and contamination.'

'You did not clean your non-food contact surface in a manner and as frequently as necessary to protect against allergen cross-contact and contamination.'

'Your plant did not have adequate sanitary facilities and accommodations.'

'Your equipment and utensils were not designed and constructed to be adequately cleaned or maintained to protect against allergen cross-contact and contamination.'

The FDA routinely inspects facilities across the nation to determine if the workplaces and their products are compliant with FDA-regulated laws and regulations implemented to improve overall public health. Inspection results are then disclosed publicly for businesses to consistently make smarter business decisions for the future.

The FDA is a government agency that is primarily responsible for monitoring the manufacturing and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical supplies and tobacco products for safety quality, according to its website.
