There was one company in a city associated with Macon County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county throughout 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is an increase over the number of companies cited in the previous year.
The citations in the county were ‘Prior to your prescribing or dispensing an approved new animal or human drug for extralabel use in a food-producing animal, you did not make a careful diagnosis and evaluation of the conditions for which the drug would be used’ and ‘You caused an illegal residue in a food-producing animal of an approved human or animal drug through prescribing the use of the drug contrary to its labeling, and did not take appropriate measures to assure that no illegal residue would occur’.
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.
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.
