Monterey Times

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

This is unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county include:

• Your hazard analysis did not identify a hazard that required a preventive control.
• Your written allergen preventive control, monitoring, corrective action and verification procedures were not appropriate to significantly minimize or prevent the hazard requiring a preventive control.
• You did not conduct a reanalysis of your food safety plan when required.

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.
