Problems seem to keep coming up with drugs and consumables. I have a suggestion that can be found at the link below.
FDA May Need Major Restructuring – Catch up with Technology
Basically we need to monitor all consumables with a bank of servers that report in and can notify of any food or drug substance out of tolerance to include factories here and overseas. It’s not 100%, but it will certainly make it difficult to not comply and warnings would be issued to both the FDA and factory. FDA agents could follow up immediately in person if needed. Progress won’t be made without some technology and business intelligence in place. BD
Grady Jackson, a defensive tackle with the Atlanta Falcons, said he used the weight-loss capsules. Kathie Lee Gifford was enthusiastic about them on the “Today” show. Retailers like GNC and the Vitamin Shoppe sold them, no prescription required.But the Food and Drug Administration now says those weight-loss capsules, called StarCaps and promoted as natural dietary supplements using papaya, could be hazardous to your health. In violation of the law, the agency has found, the capsules also contained a potent pharmaceutical drug called bumetanide which can have serious side effects.
And StarCaps are not the only culprits. In a continuing investigation that has prompted consumer warnings and recalls by some distributors, the F.D.A. has determined that dozens of weight-loss supplements, most of them imported from China, contain hidden and potentially harmful drugs. In the coming weeks, the agency plans to issue a longer list of brands to avoid that are spiked with drugs, an F.D.A. spokeswoman said.
