In August, two Biologics companies received two FDA inspections in Illinois, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This was the highest number of inspections per type of company made by the FDA in Illinois, equalling 40% of all inspections in August.
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.
