There was one company in a city associated with Escambia County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county in November 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 month.
The citations in the county were ‘You did not ensure individuals were qualified to perform their assigned duties and have records documenting food hygiene and food safety training’ and ‘You did not exclude pests from your food plant to protect against contamination of food’.

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.
