It was from Japan. Company's name escapes me. (can't pronouce it or spell it). They were a food additives company, and not a pharmacutical company. They were the worst poluters in Japan (they were the one that dumped all that mercury in a bay resulting of tremendous birth defects of people that ate the local fish). They reduced the amount of post production filtering (not a radical step) and used a different strain of bacteria to make the tryptophan more efficienctly (not a radical step). However the result was an unwanted chemical in the batch that caused the problems. Note: ONLY the US banned tryptophan, guess what prescription medication that substitiuted for tryptophan got rave reviews and magazine articles, talk show buzz, etc. within weeks of the ban? Same prescription drug that a goodly number of people that "go postal" were on.(Columbine etc.) What a coincidence eh?
