In April, four Food and Cosmetics companies received four FDA inspections in North Carolina, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This was the highest number of inspections per type of company made by the FDA in North Carolina, equalling 57.1% of all inspections in April.

Of all the North Carolina companies involved in Food and Cosmetics, Carolina Seafood Company, Inc. received the most citations from the FDA in April.

The FDA routinely inspects facilities across the nation to determine if the workplaces and their products are compliant with FDA-regulated laws and regulations implemented to improve overall public health. Inspection results are then disclosed publicly for businesses to consistently make smarter business decisions for the future.

The FDA is a government agency primarily responsible for monitoring the manufacturing and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical supplies and tobacco products for safety quality, according to its website.
