There was one company in a city associated with Muscogee County that received an FDA citation 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 only citation issued in the county was delivered as ‘Written standard operating procedures including all steps to be followed in the distribution of blood and blood components for allogeneic transfusion were not always followed’.
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.
