There was one company in a city associated with Rock 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 include:

• A system for processing a low-acid food in hermetically sealed containers was not operated and administered in a manner adequate to ensure that commercial sterility was achieved.
• The methods and controls used for the processing of a low-acid food were not as established in the scheduled process.
• You did not have a deviation from the scheduled process evaluated for public health significance by a competent processing authority.

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.
