FDA yet to make RFID mandate for US drugs
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has put aside the proposal that mandates the use of RFID to trace pharmaceuticals in the supply chain for the time being
FDA resolves to prevent counterfeit drugs in the supply chain. It will enact regulations, which force drug manufacturers to provide a pedigree of how products have passed through the supply chain.
The drugs legitimate has not mentioned specifically about the technology to check counterfeit drugs. Therefore, the FDA finds RFID is the ultimate option to safeguard the drugs supply. FDA has given time to the companies to adopt the technology. It will be implementing the pedigree proposals to ensure electronic tracking of pharmaceuticals.
