New Jersey is the #1 pharmaceutical state in the United States. Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Bristol Myers Squibb, Pfizer (Parsippany HQ), Bayer (Whippany), Becton Dickinson (Franklin Lakes), Daiichi Sankyo (Basking Ridge), and dozens of smaller biotechs and contract manufacturers operate in New Jersey. The state's FDA presence (one of the most active FDA district offices in the country is in Parsippany) and its concentration of pharmaceutical talent mean GDP compliance is not optional -- it is the baseline expectation. Every pallet entering or leaving a New Jersey pharmaceutical facility should be documented, inspected, and traceable.
