There were two companies in cities associated with Fresno County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county over the first quarter of 2026, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is a 100% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.
The citations in the county include:
- You did not maintain your plant in adequate repair.
- You did not clean and sanitize your utensils or equipment as frequently as necessary to protect against contamination of food.
- Your equipment and utensils were not designed and constructed to be adequately cleaned or maintained to protect against contamination.
Both companies cited should take voluntary actions to correct their 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 and quality.
