Most of the companies inspected were involved in the Food/Cosmetics sector. The second most common type of company inspected in the time period worked in the Biologics and Veterinary sectors.

There were seven companies in line with FDA regulations who don’t need to adjust their management operations or regulatory/administrative actions (30.4%). 15 should take voluntary action to correct the organization's management operations (65.2%). Additionally, one company had to take regulatory and/or administrative actions (4.3%).

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.

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 quality, according to its website.
