FDA calls on pharma to oversee quality

Janet Woodcock, director of the US FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, told the Senate Education, Labor, Health and Pensions Committee that the increasing number of ingredients sourced from overseas makes it almost impossible for the agency to ensure the safety of all drugs sold in the US. Woodcock said responsibility also lay with the pharma companies ensuring their ingredients reached quality standards.
