Recently Emergent BioSolutions found themselves in the news due to quality issues, specifically cross-contamination, related to its vaccine production. The deviation investigation report did not include a thorough review of personnel movements in and around the facility as a potential source of the contamination, as cited in the FDA 483 dated April 12, 2021.

Emergentā€™s failure to resolve its manufacturing quality-control issues led to a contamination of 15 million Johnson & Johnson doses in March 2021, when the company accidentally mixed in AstraZeneca drug substance. The facility halted production for three months before resuming operations in July 2021.
