FDA nearly doubles local staff, ready for regulation changes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has nearly doubled the number of inspectors in its Minneapolis office over the past year, marking a rebuilding of its local presence.
The FDA’s Minneapolis District Office now employs about 61 inspectors, up from around 34 last year. The hirings will help the agency recover from a recent wave of retirements, but also could mean some additional hassles for Twin Cities companies it regulates, as new, less-experienced inspectors are trained in.
