There was one company in a city associated with Benton 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 unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous year.
The citations in the county were ‘You did not label the animal food ready for distribution with information and instructions for safely using the animal food for the intended animal species’ and ‘You did not identify and implement preventive controls to ensure that any hazards requiring a preventive control are significantly minimized or prevented’.
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.
