I really wonder what triggered this inspection. Generics in the US have been a shitshow for a long time and plenty of whistleblowers from the FDA have come out over how much the FDA heads have buried the issue completely.
Personally, this goes back a few years. In high school, we had a quantitative analysis class where we decomposed various brands of acetaminophen pills to measure the % of active ingredient (acetaminophen) and compare to the labeled totals. Pretty every generic brand tested by multiple groups in this lab resulted in contents below 80% of the label. I think the Rite-Aid generic was 60% of the label content. The only one even close was Tylenol coming in at 95%. (With potentially the last 5% being experiment error in recovery since we are talking milligrams and not the most extremely careful lab setup). And that's why I avoid generic acetaminophen if I want it to work LOL
