SOCMA has had concerns over the quality of active pharmaceutical ingredients from emerging markets for some time; encouraging the federal government to strengthen the inspection regime for ingredients manufactured overseas.
“Now that the issues of quality and safety have been raised for other major industries: food toys, paints, bath products; companies must take steps to ensure control over their own manufacturing processes.
“As the processes used in manufacturing are made safer and cleaner, the products follow.”
