Lehigh Times

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 second quarter of 2024, 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 plant did not have adequate sanitary facilities and accommodations.
• Your equipment and utensils were not designed and constructed to be adequately cleaned or maintained to protect against contamination.
• Your review of critical control point monitoring records, corrective action records, calibration records and periodic end-product or in-process testing records are not performed, signed and dated by an individual who is trained in the application of HACCP principles to juice processing or otherwise qualified through job experience.

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.

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.
