In January, 10 Food/Cosmetics companies received 10 FDA inspections in Ohio, 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 Ohio, equalling 50% of all inspections in January.

Of all the Ohio companies involved in Food/Cosmetics, The Kroger Company received the most citations from the FDA in January.

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.
