The FDA “identified several deficiencies,” in the drug-import plan, it said. Despite its thousands of pages, the plan does not show whether it meets the two overarching requirements of saving money and securing the drug supply chain, the agency explained. The FDA gave the state until August 28 to flesh out those two subjects.
