There were two companies in a city associated with Indian River County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county over the third quarter of 2025, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
No companies were cited in the previous quarter.
The citations in the county include:
- You do not have or have not implemented a sanitation standard operating procedure that addresses sanitation conditions and practices before, during and after processing.
- In evaluating what food hazards are reasonably likely to occur, you did not consider unlawful pesticide residues.
- Your HACCP plan does not list the verification frequencies that have been developed to ensure that the HACCP plan is being implemented.

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.
