Report raises concerns about generic drug quality testing

Season 2026 Episode 11 | 5m 15s

The Food and Drug Administration says that all agency-approved generic drugs “have the same high quality” as brand-name drugs, but a ProPublica investigation found that the FDA rarely tests the quality of generic drugs. John Yang speaks with investigative reporter Debbie Cenziper for more.
