There were four companies in a city associated with Story County, Iowa, that received four FDA inspections in 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 33.3% decrease from the number of companies inspected in the previous year, when six companies received six inspections.

Most of the companies inspected at the time were involved in the Biologics and Food and Cosmetics sectors. The second most common type of company inspected period worked in the Drugs sector.

All of the companies were in line with FDA regulations, and don't need to adjust their managing operations or regulatory/administrative actions.

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 quality.
