An unnamed middleman in Mumbai provided a crucial raw material used in Indian-made cough syrups that have been linked to the deaths of more than 70 children in Gambia, a chemicals trader involved in the supply chain told Reuters.
The World Health Organization said last year the syrups, made by Indian manufacturer Maiden Pharmaceuticals Ltd, contained lethal toxins ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol – used in car brake fluid.
"I can't name the supplier - we have business links that we need to keep," said Goel, adding his company had "not done anything wrong." He said his business was "just a trader and we pass on sealed barrels that we get. We can do nothing with them." Asked to comment on the claim there was a middleman in the supply chain, the WHO's lead investigator said inquiries have reached a "dead end" due to a lack of information from the Indian authorities and the drugmaker.
India's regulator said its information on the raw materials came from certificates of analysis – standard paperwork used to track each ingredient in a drug supply chain. Maiden said last October that it had obtained raw materials from "certified and reputed companies."
