n=47 plants with 2+ OAI · FDA inspection feed Authoritative

47 plants carry two or more OAI inspection closures across the FDA cycle. Sun Pharma Halol leads the international list with five OAI cycles, last closed June 2025; Gland Chemicals Kanchipuram closed its fourth OAI in November 2025. The list is a structural-risk cohort: any single OAI is a stress event, but repeats signal patterns that did not close after the prior CAPA. PharmaDB joins repeat-OAI status to active warning-letter and import-alert chips at the same plant.

01

Set the threshold.

Default is 2+ OAI inspections at the same plant. Toggle to 3+ for the deeper structural-risk cohort, or filter by country and trailing window.

Citation-anchored dossier per plant with the OAI cycle history, observation trajectory, and a recommendation tier (block, watch, qualifiable with conditions).

Why a buyer runs it

The structural signal under the headline event.

Pattern over event.

A single OAI is an event; two or more is a pattern. The list isolates plants where the CAPA after the prior OAI did not hold.

Trajectory chip per plant.

Deteriorating (each cycle worse), flat (same severity), or recovering (improving toward VAI / NAI). Powers the qualification recommendation tier.

Stacked enforcement view.

Repeat-OAI plants with an active warning letter or import alert get a stack-rank chip. The combination is the highest-severity supplier risk.

Weekly refresh.

New OAI closures move plants onto the list as the FDA publishes. Recoveries move plants off when a follow-up NAI cycle clears.

47 plants meet the repeat-OAI threshold. The geography is roughly 60% US (predominantly compounders and OTC manufacturers) and 25% India (predominantly API and fill-finish CMOs). Of the cohort, all 47 plants remain commercially active per the latest catalog refresh. Five plants carry three or more OAI cycles and an active warning letter; this is the structural-risk inner ring. Recommend hard-block on the inner ring and watch chip on the remainder.

The repeat-OAI list is the structural-risk cohort underneath the warning-letter and import-alert feeds. PharmaDB groups inspections by plant, ranks by OAI count, and overlays active enforcement. The view is inspections filtered to classification = 'OAI'; the aggregation is at the plant level. Refresh cadence is weekly.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Why does repeat OAI matter more than a single OAI?+

A single OAI cycle indicates a stress event that may close with a successful CAPA. Two or more OAI closures, especially within five years, indicate the CAPA did not hold. The structural pattern is the signal: management, systems, or culture failed to absorb the prior finding.

How is the OAI count computed?+

Total number of FDA inspections closed at the plant with classification OAI, across the full catalog. The headline list uses a 2+ threshold; the 3+ list is the deeper structural-risk inner ring.

Do recoveries take plants off the list?+

The OAI count is cumulative, so the plant remains on the list. The trajectory chip flips to recovering if a follow-up NAI cycle closes; the recommendation tier moves from block to qualifiable-with-conditions on a clean cycle.

What about EMA OAI-equivalent classifications?+

EMA non-compliance reports and EDQM CEP suspensions are tracked separately. The companion view joins multi-regulator outcomes to the same plant entity, so a plant carrying an EMA non-compliance plus an FDA OAI surfaces with a stack-rank chip.

How fresh is the data?+

The FDA inspection feed is pulled weekly. New OAI closures publish on a two-to-four-month delay from the cycle close; PharmaDB surfaces each as the FDA publishes. The catalog row carries the publication date and the as-of timestamp.

Are compounding pharmacies dominant in the cohort?+

US compounders and OTC manufacturers form roughly 60% of the repeat-OAI cohort by count, driven by section 503A and 503B oversight density. API and fill-finish plants form the remainder and matter more to a generics buyer. The brief notes the FDA programme so a buyer can filter accordingly.
