There were two companies in a city associated with Raleigh County, West Virginia, that received two FDA inspections in the first quarter of 2023, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The companies inspected were involved in the Biologics sector.

There was one company in line with FDA regulations that does not need to adjust their management operations or regulatory/administrative actions. One should take voluntary action to correct its management 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.

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.
