Food recalls and drug mix-ups today.

### Walmart Bettergoods frozen pasta — possible Listeria

Gias Foods recalled two lots of **Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine**, sold **nationwide at Walmart**, because routine state testing indicated possible *Listeria monocytogenes* contamination. ([U.S. Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/gias-foods-inc-recalls-bettergoods-authentic-italian-lemon-alfredo-fettuccine-because-possible?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com))

The frozen 22-ounce yellow bags have UPC **194346442706**, lot numbers **L6079C or L6080C**, and expiration dates **September 19 or September 20, 2027**. No illnesses have been reported. Consumers should not eat affected packages and should return them for a refund. Because the expiration dates run into **2027**, this is a good **“check your freezer”** item.

### Wholesome Pantry applesauce — now formally posted by FDA

FDA today formally posted the **Wholesome Pantry Organic Unsweetened Apple Sauce** recall we flagged last week. The 23-ounce jars, UPC **04119005677**, best-by **June 16, 2027**, contain elevated levels of **patulin**, a mold toxin. They were sold through ShopRite, Price Rite Marketplace, The Fresh Grocer, Gourmet Garage and Fairway Market. No illnesses have been reported.

**ICU Medical saline bags — possible potassium-chloride mix-up.** Otsuka ICU Medical is recalling one lot of **0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, 100 mL** because an outer saline wrapper may actually contain a bag of **highly concentrated potassium chloride**. FDA says accidental administration can cause severe neuromuscular problems, dangerous heart rhythms, **cardiac arrest and death**. The affected saline lot is **1042188**, NDC **0990-7984-23**, expiration **October 31, 2027**. The product was distributed nationwide. No adverse events have been reported. Hospitals and other users are being told to quarantine it immediately.

**Niwali “tejocote” supplements are actually toxic yellow oleander.** FDA testing found that **Niwali Tejocote Capsules and Tejocote Pieces** appear to contain yellow oleander rather than tejocote. Yellow oleander contains cardiac glycosides and can cause vomiting, dizziness, abnormal heart rhythms and **potentially fatal cardiovascular toxicity**. The products were sold nationwide through eBay and Everymarket. Only **five units** are known to have been sold, but the seller cannot identify all buyers, so FDA is urging anyone with the products to stop using them immediately.

**🚩 Par Pharmaceutical IV sedative — particles can block blood vessels.** Two lots of **Dexmedetomidine HCl in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, 400 mcg/100 mL** are being recalled after cellulose or stopper material was found in the solution. FDA says injecting particulate matter can cause **pulmonary emboli, blocked blood vessels, tissue death, organ damage and potentially life-threatening complications**. Lots **87558** and **88802** were distributed nationwide to wholesalers and hospitals. No adverse events have been reported.
