According to Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the contaminant is present in significant quantities in some of the active pharmaceutical ingredients, making for approximately 5 to 20 percent of the substance tested.
