There were five companies in a city associated with Fairfield County, Ohio, that received five FDA inspections in the fourth quarter of 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 28.6% decrease from the number of companies inspected in the previous quarter, when seven companies received seven inspections.

Most of the companies inspected at the time were involved in the Food and Cosmetics and Biologics sectors. The second most common type of company inspected worked in the Devices sector.

There were three companies in line with FDA regulations that do not need to adjust their management operations or regulatory/administrative actions. Two should take voluntary action to correct their management 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.
