FDA: 2 companies in cities within Lehigh County received 7 citations in Q1

There were two companies in a city associated with Lehigh County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county over the first quarter of 2025, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 100% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

The citations in the county include:

• Your FSVP did not provide adequate assurances that your foreign supplier is producing the food in compliance with processes and procedures that provide the required level of public health protection.
• You did not document your review and assessment of a hazard analysis conducted by another entity.
• You did not establish written procedures to ensure that you import foods only from approved foreign suppliers.

All of the companies cited were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.

Both companies cited should take voluntary actions to correct their 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.
