There were two companies in cities associated with Suffolk County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county over the second quarter of 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 71.4% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.

Of the 23 citations issued, the most common citations include:

  • Aseptic processing areas are deficient regarding air supply that is filtered through high-efficiency particulate air filters under positive pressure.
  • Aseptic processing areas are deficient regarding the system for monitoring environmental conditions.
  • Equipment used in the manufacture, processing, packing or holding of drug products is not of appropriate design to facilitate operations for its intended use.

Both companies cited were involved in either Food and Cosmetics, Drugs, or Veterinary 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.

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.
