FDA warned the drug producer Vikshara Trading & Investments for obstructing an inspection of its plant in Ahmedabad in northwestern India.

Workers also did not turn on the lights in unlocked parts of the facility. Using a flashlight, FDA officials were, however, able to observe “powder scattered throughout the production areas, including powder caked on the floor.”
