Cornerstone Dairy in Tipton, California was inspected by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 8 for monitoring of marketed animal drugs, feed, and devices and received four 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:

'Failure to follow your veterinarian's prescription for dosage and species or class of animal.'

'Causing a residue of an approved human or animal drug above an established safe level, safe concentration, or tolerance, through use of the drug contrary to its labeling.'

'Treatment records were not maintained and complete.'

'Failure to have a system to control administration of drug treatments to your animals.'

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.
