There were two companies in a city associated with Okeechobee County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county in 2025, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous year.
Of the three citations issued, the most common citation was ‘You did not have a written food safety plan’.
Both companies cited had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions.
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.
