There was one company in a city associated with Thurston County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county throughout 2023, 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 include:

• You are not monitoring the sanitation conditions and practices with sufficient frequency to assure conformance with current good manufacturing practice including safety of water that comes into contact with food or food contact surfaces, including water used to manufacture ice, condition and cleanliness of food contact surfaces, prevention of cross-contamination from insanitary objects and proper labeling, storage and use of toxic chemicals.
• You did not fully implement the monitoring procedures listed in your HACCP plan.
• You do not maintain complete records documenting monitoring of critical control points and their critical limits.

The company cited was involved in the Food and Cosmetics and Veterinary sectors.

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.

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.
