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

This is an increase over the number of companies cited in the previous month.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not clean and sanitize your utensils or equipment as frequently as necessary to protect against contamination of food.
• Your equipment and utensils were not designed and constructed to be adequately cleaned or maintained to protect against contamination.
• You did not conduct operations under conditions and controls necessary to minimize the potential for contamination of food.

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.

According to its website, 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.
