Lafayette Reporter

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

This is a 33.3% decrease from the number of companies cited in the previous year.

The citations in the county include:

• Failure to perform a thorough investigation of an unexplained discrepancy.
• Failure to ensure that testing was performed by a CLIA certified laboratory.
• You did not take a reasonable measure or precaution related to personnel practices.

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.
