In Illinois, three pharmaceutical companies underwent FDA inspections in March, with each company receiving one inspection, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
These inspections represented the second highest count for a single company type by the FDA in Illinois, accounting for 15.8% of all inspections conducted that month.
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.
