Our overseas factories work to FDA standards if we intend to market the product here. The negative reports are not BS. One of my responsibilities is the control of imports to the US and we operate under very strict controls. Just before Christmas I got chewed on by a Sr VP for not allowing prototype samples of a nutritional into the country. I stopped them because the overseas facility was not an FDA registered site. He gave me heck because he needed them for a dog & pony. But the rules say if the factory isn't registered you can't bring in the product. The drug rules are even tighter. So it's no BS. At least not with the big houses.
