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.
Wawa is recalling some of its drinks sold in five states because they contain undeclared allergens.
The popular gas station is recalling certain 16-ounce drinks sold in five states over concerns that “the drinks may contain undeclared milk allergens,” according to a notice from the Food and Drug Administration.
“Recalled products have been removed from sale and discarded at affected stores,” a notice on the FDA’s website states.
In a notice posted on its website, Wawa said that “the health and safety of our customers is our top priority” and that “we have implemented a strong food safety and quality assurance program across the company to ensure the health and safety of our customers.”
The company added that while “no illnesses have been reported to date related to this issue,” it has “removed this product from sale in all affected stores and issued this recall.”
Here’s what you need to know about the recall and what to do if you purchased an affected product.
