Is this why there's shortages and plants being suspended? And all the cholesterol generics having contaminants causing cancer?

Probably referring to the ARB (angiotensin receptor blocker) shortages.

Basically, an API manufacturer changed up its process, but it turned out to generate very small quantities of a very small molecule side-product that’s carcinogenic.

NDMA and NDEA.
