I audit a lot of these Fentanyl API (Active Pharma Ingredient) factories in China. Its noticeable to me when I go through the warehouses as to how much product is going to Mexico. Other segments go to India for legal fill finishing prior to North America, while other small shipments are going to compounding facilities across the US. I always thought FDA might want to relay this information to homeland security, because its pretty easy for FDA inspectors to sneakily gather information during site inspections. At quite number of sites I often run into a mix of legal and nefarious activity at these massive API sites
Is there any way you could point me to more information about these facilities and or the auditing process?
Back in college, I was a fiend for all type of stuff that was presumably made at these facilities. I would purchase styff from american and canadian resellers who had labs in china that would synth specific drugs for them. Always wondered what the lab conditions were like, what likelihood I was supporting nefarious business practices, how likely it was that I got harmful byproducts etc.
Auditor checks adherence to particular rules. You can assert nefarious activities at higher level, but it's likely out of job scope to do something about it
