In early 2026, the FDA conducted an inspection at a single biologics company located in Hawaii, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This represented the smallest share of inspections by company type in Hawaii, accounting for 1.6% of all FDA inspections during the first quarter of 2026.

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.
