As a result of this change, all incoming glycerin excipient samples will be subject to three rounds of DEG/EG identity testing - one by our U.S. based manufacturer, one by our U.S. supplier, and one by a third-party testing laboratory after PCCA receives the glycerin-before distribution to customers. All unexpired lots that are on the market have also been tested and have received passing results.
