Health Risks and Reputational Damage: Regulatory Non-Compliance
One of the most significant consequences of not complying with regulatory standards is the risk of harm to public health. Bioprocessing fluids that do not meet regulatory standards can contain harmful contaminants, such as bacteria or viruses, which can lead to illness or even death if used in the production of medical products. The risk of contamination can also lead to product recalls and damage the reputation of the producer, leading to significant financial losses.
