There were two companies in cities associated with Cape Girardeau County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections 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 citations in the county include:

• Procedures to control environmental conditions have not been adequately established.
• Procedures to ensure equipment is routinely calibrated and inspected have not been adequately established.
• A process whose results cannot be fully verified by subsequent inspection and test has not been adequately validated according to established procedures.

The companies cited were involved in either Devices or Food and Cosmetics sectors.

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 quality.
