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

This is a 20% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous year.

The citations in the county include:

• You did not conduct operations under conditions and controls necessary to minimize the potential for allergen cross-contact.
• You did not take a reasonable measure or precaution related to personnel practices.
• You did not ensure that your cleaning compounds and sanitizing agents are safe and adequate under the conditions of use.

Most of the companies cited were involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector.

Of the companies cited, three should take voluntary actions to correct their managing operations (75%). Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions (25%).

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.
