Sun Pharma receives fresh warnings from US regulator over Indian facility

10 September 2018

India’s Sun Pharmaceutical Industries (BSE: 524715) has received six adverse observations after a US Food and Drug Administration inspection found one of its plants to be lacking in certain processes.

The new censure comes just two months after the US regulator lifted a previous warning. The Halol, India-based facility is used to manufacture certain injectable products and specialty drugs.

The negative observations come after an inspection carried out in August, and include notes on a lack of written procedures for cleaning and maintenance, as well as an absence of procedures to prevent contamination.
