In the first quarter of 2024, 33 Food and Cosmetics companies received 34 FDA inspections in Missouri, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Of all the Missouri companies involved in the Food and Cosmetics sector, Ajinomoto Foods North America, Inc. received the most citations from the FDA in the first quarter of 2024.

The FDA routinely inspects facilities across the nation to determine if the workplaces and their products are compliant with FDA-regulated laws and regulations implemented to improve overall public health. Inspection results are then disclosed publicly for businesses to consistently make smarter business decisions for the future.

The FDA is a government agency primarily responsible for monitoring the manufacturing and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical supplies and tobacco products for safety quality, according to its website.
