There was one company in a city associated with Hood River County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county in September, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous month.
The citations in the county were ‘You did not ensure that personnel who may contact produce or food contact surfaces use hygienic practices to protect against produce contamination’ and ‘You did not clean and sanitize food contact surfaces as frequently as necessary to protect against the contamination of produce’.
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 and quality.
