There were five companies in cities associated with Kent County that received FDA citations as a result of five inspections conducted in the county throughout 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 400% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous year.

The citations in the county include:

  • Risk analysis is inadequate.
  • Procedures have not been adequately established to control product that does not conform to specified requirements.
  • Procedures for corrective and preventive action have not been adequately established.

Most of the companies cited were involved in either Devices or Biologics sectors.

All of the 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.

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.
