Cosmetic manufacturers, packers, and distributors selling products in the United States must be prepared for FDA inspections and audits. With the implementation of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), FDA inspections of cosmetic facilities are expected to increase, making compliance readiness more critical than ever. Companies that are unprepared may face inspectional observations, warning letters, import alerts, or even product recalls.
Preparing for an FDA inspection requires more than just compliant product labeling it involves a comprehensive compliance management system that includes robust documentation, facility hygiene, production controls, and adverse event reporting. Being inspection-ready ensures smoother FDA interactions and protects both brand reputation and consumer trust.
