There were four companies in cities associated with St. Louis County that received FDA citations as a result of four inspections conducted in the county throughout 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 20% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous year.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not make and keep records of a material review and disposition decision on a returned dietary supplement.
• You did not develop an FSVP.
• A device master record has not been adequately maintained.

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

Of the companies cited, three should take voluntary actions to correct their managing operations (75%). Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions (25%).

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.
