Herbalife International of America in Winston Salem, North Carolina was inspected by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 3 for food composition, standards, labeling and econ 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 use cleaning compounds that are safe and adequate under the conditions of use.'

'You did not follow written procedures for maintaining, cleaning, and sanitizing, equipment, utensils, and any other contact surfaces that are used to manufacture, package, label, or hold components or dietary supplements.'

'You did not establish a corrective action plan to use when an established specification is not met.'

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.
