There was one company in a city associated with Edgecombe 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 an increase over the number of companies cited in the previous year.
The citations in the county were ‘You did not maintain your plant in a clean and sanitary condition’ and ‘You did not thaw your raw materials or other ingredients in a manner that prevented them from becoming adulterated’.

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.
