I can't speak to FDA production facilities. I can speak to all sorts of other facilities with on-site QA compliance officers from outside firms. Unless the officer is armed with serious authority, they are essentially shunned and ignored. Any production issues may get caught later after the product has spend a month on the water but on the spot? Not going to happen.
They(The host company) give these people a closet and the QA person disappears into it. Many times, there may be a handful of outside inspectors in the same factory from competing firms. They hang out, smoke cigarettes and nap during the day. Pretty much useless.
I’ve thought about that.
That the likelyhood of there being ANY QC going on, in these factories, is...well, nil.
Why would we....the most advanced country on earth....turn over our HEALTH/MEDICINES to anyone else....especially a commie country and potential enemy???
Why??
That is utterly depressing. American medicine was the envy of the world not too long ago.
