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

This is an increase over the number of companies cited in the previous month.

Of the nine citations issued, the most common citations were ‘You did not develop an FSVP’ and ‘You did not establish adequate written procedures for ensuring that appropriate foreign supplier verification activities are conducted with respect to a food you import’.
