"There are new requirements under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) for manufacturers, repackagers, wholesale distributors, dispensers, and third-party logistics providers (trading partners). Some requirements began in November 2014 and several key requirements begin at various stages in 2015. The new requirements, development of standards, and the system for product tracing will continue to be phased in over the next nine years. FDA will continue working with trading partners and other stakeholders to effectively implement the new requirements."

14 Arrested in Meningitis Deaths Linked to New England Compounding Center - NYTimes.com

Read the full article: 14 Arrested in Meningitis Deaths Linked to New England Compounding Center - NYTimes.com:

"The arrests signal the beginning of criminal proceedings against the New England Compounding Center, whose contaminated drugs led to the deaths from fungal meningitis of 64 people in the fall of 2012. More than 680 people were sickened.

The contamination caused an uproar and prompted new legislation about compounding pharmacies, which make specialized formulations of drugs for patients with particular needs. Over the years, such companies have grown into mass manufacturers distributing medicine all over the country, virtually unregulated by the federal government."
