...Your firm limited the inspection and/or refused to permit the FDA inspection as follows:
1. Barring access to areas
During the inspection, your firm limited the investigator’s access to the manufacturing area. Your employee stated that your firm was currently manufacturing and packaging drug products; however, you prevented the investigator from entering the manufacturing area.
2. Refusal to provide copies of documents
