Mumbai: The United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has placed Sun Pharmaceuticals' Halol unit under "import alert."

This means that all future shipments of products manufactured at this facility will be denied entry into the US market until the facility meets cGMP standards.

The USFDA inspected Sun Pharma's Halol unit from April 26 to May 9, 2022. The USFDA has excluded 14 products from this import alert, subject to certain conditions.
