There were two companies in a city associated with Cullman 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).
No companies were cited in the previous year.
The citations in the county include:
- Stray animals are not prevented from entering poultry houses.
- The presence of flies is not monitored by appropriate monitoring methods.
- Environmental testing for SE, using approved methods, was not done in a poultry house when any group of laying hens constituting the flock was 40 to 45 weeks of age.
The companies cited were involved in either Food and Cosmetics or Devices sectors.
Both companies cited should take voluntary actions to correct their managing operations.
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.
