The FDA Withholds Names of Drugs Made in Contaminated Factories
The FDA has redacted drug names from reports for decades, but several former officials now support ending this practice.
Inspections have revealed disturbing conditions at foreign factories manufacturing drugs for the US, including:
- pigeons infesting a storage room and defecating on boxes of sterilized equipment
- pathogens contaminating purified water used to produce drugs
- stagnant urine pooling on a bathroom floor near injectable medication production
The agency made a decision that undermined its mission to protect Americans from dangerous drugs.
By blacking out the names of medications from errant foreign factories, the FDA keeps this information secret from the public.
