FDA flags up filth at P&G Olay factory
A Proctor & Gamble (P&G) factory in Puerto Rico that manufactures Olay skin care products has failed to meet federal operating standards, according to the FDA.
Reuters quoted a letter from the FDA saying drugs and cosmetics were made at the factory under conditions “whereby they may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health.”
The letter goes on to say that several cosmetic products “have been prepared, packed or held under insanitary conditions.”
P&G said in April that it planned to cut 90 jobs in Puerto Rico but it is not known whether the cuts will be made at the factory. Reuters said a Procter & Gamble representative could not immediately be reached for comment.
