Here is some information concerning the production of Heparin. The February 28, 2008 issue of the New York Times reported that more than 400 patients in the United States are suffering serious complications after using the blood-thinner heparin.

Investigators are attempting to determine whether the raw material for the drug, made from pig intestines, became contaminated in the slaughterhouses of China. The article reported that crude heparin is often produced in small and unsanitary workshops in Chinese villages. According to some experts, as much as 70 percent of China’s crude heparin — for domestic use and for export — comes from small factories in poor villages. According to the Times, some of these small, unregulated factories have floors with large puddles and crowded workshops. Further, the workshops are dilapidated and unheated.
