During an inspection on June 17, 2024, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued five citations to Rancho Santo Cristo, Inc. in Dallas concerning foodborne biological hazards, according to data posted on the FDA’s website.
The FDA website indicates that the citations were delivered to the company as follows:
- ‘You did not ensure individuals were qualified to perform their assigned duties and have records documenting food hygiene and food safety training.’
- ‘You did not maintain your plant in a clean and sanitary condition and in adequate repair.’
- ‘Your plant did not have adequate sanitary facilities and accommodations.’
- ‘Your hazard analysis did not identify a hazard that required a preventive control.’
- ‘You did not submit a reportable food report to FDA within 24 hours after you determined that a food was a reportable food.’
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.
