I made a quick summary of the 483 observations made at Catalent Pharma Solutions, Llc in Saint Petersburg, FL.
This place is supposed to be a so called "Center of Excellence?" These observations and deficiencies are a total and unequivocal embarrassment. If you want to know specifics regarding each observation you will have to refer to my other thread where I have posted the photos.
The seemingly incompetence and/or lack of concern, sloppiness, neglect, negligence, flat out not doing their jobs, whatever you want to call it, is shocking for such a "Center of Excellence."
This is a flat out disgrace, and I am not going to be surprised if these deficiencies and observations don't take a long enough time to be corrected and reinspected that we are going to be 6 months or more down the line with Rayaldee.
Dina Kostakis, General Manager of Catalent Saint Petersburg, FL:
"We want to showcase what we've done with operational excellence." "When employees walk through the doors of Catalent Pharmaceutical solutions plant in St Petersburg Florida they have a mission: to get better everyday."
Are you serious is this what this lady just said in this interview, and then years later we see these sloppy, sloppy work QA and Control issues?
If they are "getting better" everyday with "operational excellence" I would hate to see what these people would produce if they didn't try to "get better everyday."
Entertain yourselves with this interview:

I can tell you board members this:
If I performed my job as carelessly, negligently, and incompetently and as some of these people at Catalent obviously do, people would die as a result.
