There were six companies in a city associated with Caddo Parish, Louisiana, that received six FDA inspections in the third quarter of 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 200% increase over the number of companies inspected in the previous quarter, when two companies received two inspections.

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

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, according to its website.
