There were two companies in a city associated with Grand Traverse County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections 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.

Of the 45 citations issued, the most common citations include:

• You did not register and file Form FDA 2541 (food canning establishment registration) with FDA within 10 days after first engaging in the manufacture, processing and packaging of acidified foods.
• You did not establish an identity specification for each component.
• You did not establish product specifications for limits on contamination that may adulterate, or that may lead to adulteration of, the finished dietary supplement.

Most of the companies cited were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.

Of the companies cited, one should take voluntary action to correct its managing operations (50%). Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions (50%).

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.
