Millions of eye drops recalled after FDA sterility warning
The FDA reported it recalled millions of eye drops due to sterility concerns after KC Pharmaceuticals discontinued the product sold at Walgreens, CVS and Kroger.
Several snack mixes sold at Target and other retailers are being recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.
According to a recall announcement issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on May 6, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. announced a voluntary recall of snack mix products flavored with seasonings made by third-party suppliers, including the recalled milk powder.
The notice states that the affected condiment batches tested negative for salmonella before use, but the company said it was taking this action “as a precautionary measure as these products may contain salmonella.”
According to the FDA, to date, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. has not received any reports of illness associated with the affected products.
Consumers who have recently purchased a product should not consume the product and should return it to the store of purchase for a full refund or exchange.
