There was one company in a city associated with Merced County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county over the first quarter of 2026, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous quarter.
The citations in the county were ‘You offered a food-producing animal(s) for interstate commerce that was found to bear or contain a drug residue in an edible tissue above an established safe level, safe concentration, or tolerance’ and ‘You did not maintain complete treatment records’.
The company cited should take a voluntary action to correct its 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.
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 and quality.
