Corona Orange Foods Intermediate Holdings, LLC in Corona, California was inspected by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 26 for foodborne biological hazards and received three citations, according to data posted on the FDA’s official website.

The FDA website indicates that the citations were delivered to the company as follows:

'You did not provide FDA with information on the scheduled process for a new acidified food before packing the food.'

'You did not exclude pests from your food plant to protect against contamination of food.'

'You did not store or transport food, including ingredients, under conditions that protect against contamination.'

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 that is 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.
