Pinellas Times

There were eight companies in cities associated with Pinellas County, Florida, that received eight FDA inspections in the first quarter of 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 20% decrease from the number of companies inspected in the previous quarter, when 10 companies received 10 inspections.

Most of the companies inspected at the time were involved in the Biologics and Devices sectors. Both the Drugs and Food and Cosmetics sectors sectors tied for second most common type.

There were five companies in line with FDA regulations that do not need to adjust their management operations or regulatory/administrative actions. Three 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.
