- pkaye 7y agoYeah but the article and some others are making it seem like something unique to the FDA. It seems to be a global issue and they all need to improve their quality control and testing processes.
- s1artibartfast 7y agoTo be honest, QC and testing has never really been the FDA's job. They perform a one time assessment for safety and effectiveness to prevent the sale of snake oil equivalents. They also have the power to inspect manufacturers periodically (maybe 1 in 100 manufacturers per year). Otherwise testing, QC, and release is self-regulated by the manufacturers.
