Randy Niewenhuis in Corsica, South Dakota was inspected by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 9 for monitoring of marketed animal drugs, feed, and devices and received one citation, according to data posted on the FDA’s official website.

The FDA website shows that the company was cited for the following problem: 'Causing an illegal residue in a food-producing animal of an approved human or animal drug through using the drug contrary to its labeling, and failing to take appropriate measures to assure that assigned timeframes for withdrawal were 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.
