New York Produce Company Recalls Mangoes from Walmart Stores Due to Potential Salmonella Contamination

Panorama Produce, a New York-based company, has issued a recall for 302 boxes of Martina-brand mangoes sold at select Walmart stores in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. The recall was initiated due to potential salmonella contamination. The affected mangoes were distributed between August 10 and August 21. While no illnesses have been reported in connection with this specific recall, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated that sampling found salmonella in mangoes from the same farm. Although the mangoes that tested positive did not enter U.S. commerce, the recalled fruit originated from the same source.

FDA Issues Boxed Warning for Injectafer Due to Risk of Severe Hypophosphatemia

FDA Issues Boxed Warning for Injectafer Due to Risk of Severe Hypophosphatemia

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has mandated a boxed warning for ferric carboxymaltose injection, marketed as Injectafer, to highlight the risk of symptomatic hypophosphatemia (low phosphate levels in the blood). This is the agency's most stringent safety warning. The warning advises phosphate monitoring for patients at risk and those receiving repeat therapy within three months. Hypophosphatemia linked to Injectafer can lead to serious health issues, including hospitalization, prolonged phosphate replacement therapy, osteomalacia (bone softening), and fractures. The FDA's decision follows continued reports of symptomatic hypophosphatemia despite previous labeling updates in February 2020 and May 2023 that aimed to strengthen warnings about this risk. Data from the FDA’s Sentinel System indicates that serum phosphate testing occurs in less than 20% of Injectafer administration episodes, suggesting a gap in current monitoring practices.
