Cardinal Health

Cardinal Health is a major wholesale drug distributor headquartered in Dublin, OH, operating with active licenses across all 51 jurisdictions and maintaining both NABP accreditation and FDA registration. While the company demonstrates strong operational scale and core regulatory credentials, its compliance profile shows significant concerns with 215 FDA recalls on record and 832 expired licenses in its portfolio, alongside gaps in visible DEA registration documentation. The company's DSCSA reporting compliance is fully documented, but the substantial recall history and large volume of lapsed licenses warrant careful review of specific business units and supply chain oversight protocols before partnership decisions.
