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 third quarter of 2024, 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:

• You did not conduct operations under conditions and controls necessary to minimize the potential for growth or survival of microorganisms, allergen cross-contact and contamination of food.
• You did not implement your allergen corrective action procedures.
• Your written sanitation monitoring procedures were not appropriate to significantly minimize or prevent the hazard requiring a preventive control.

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.
