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

This is a 62.5% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous year.

The citations in the county include:

  • Procedures for rework of nonconforming product have not been adequately established.
  • Procedures for corrective and preventive action have not been adequately established.
  • Procedures for receiving, reviewing, and evaluating complaints by a formally designated unit have not been adequately established.

All of the companies cited were involved in either Devices, Food and Cosmetics, or Drugs sectors.

Of the companies cited, two should take voluntary actions to correct their managing operations (66.7%). Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions (33.3%).

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.
