There were 14 companies in cities associated with Pinellas County that received FDA citations as a result of 14 inspections conducted in the county throughout 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 55.6% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous year.

  • Procedures to ensure that all purchased or otherwise received product and services conform to specified requirements have not been adequately established.
  • Procedures for corrective and preventive action have not been adequately established.
  • Procedures for receiving, reviewing, and evaluating complaints by a formally designated unit have not been adequately established.

Most of the companies cited were involved in the Devices sector. The second most common type of company cited in the time period worked in the either Food and Cosmetics or Drugs sectors.

Of the companies cited, 13 should take voluntary actions to correct their managing operations (92.9%). Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions (7.1%).

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.
