TCM maker loses license over mold
Print Edition
A MANUFACTURER of traditional Chinese medicine lost its license after herbal ingredients were found to have gone moldy at one of its warehouses in northeast China’s Jilin Province.
Spot checks found that the raw materials at the Xiuzheng Pharmaceutical Group premises were also of poor quality.
Food and drug administration officials were carrying out checks on four manufacturers of lung medicine in the province when they uncovered the problems at the warehouse in Tonghua’s Liuhe County.
The company was also found to be fabricating inspection reports.
In addition to losing its manufacturing license, the company will face other punishment, the state FDA said but gave no further details.
In 2012, Xiuzheng, along with eight other domestic drug makers, was found to be using scraps of leather to replace more expensive edible gelatin in medicine capsules. More than 140,000 boxes of capsules were destroyed and 76 officials from six provinces punished, seven of them receiving prison sentences.
Meanwhile, Guangdong Yikong Pharmaceutical also lost its manufacturing license after it was found to have mixed raw materials for western medicines with traditional Chinese medicine on its production lines, a serious violation of regulations.
