The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued nine citations to Fong Kee Tofu Company, Inc. in San Francisco following an inspection on May 15, 2024. The review covered food composition, standards, labeling, and economic concerns, according to data posted on the FDA’s website.
The FDA website indicates that the citations were delivered to the company as follows:

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.
According to its website, 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 and quality.
