There was one company in a city associated with Sonoma County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county throughout 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 75% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous year.

The citations in the county include:

• Employees are not given training in the particular operations they perform as part of their function, current good manufacturing practices and written procedures required by current good manufacturing practice regulations.
• Equipment and utensils are not cleaned and sanitized at appropriate intervals to prevent contamination that would alter the safety, identity, strength, quality or purity of the drug product.
• Each component is not tested for conformity with all appropriate written specifications for purity, strength, and quality.

The company cited was involved in the Drugs sector.

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.
