How many companies in cities across Iredell County received FDA citations in March?

There was one company in a city associated with Iredell County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county in March, 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.

The citations in the county were ‘You offered food-producing animal(s) for interstate commerce that was found to bear or contain a drug residue in an edible tissue above an established safe level, safe concentration, or tolerance’ and ‘You did not review treatment records, prior to shipment of an animal for slaughter for human food, to assure that drugs have been used only as directed and that appropriate withdrawal periods have been met’.
