Nasal Spray Sold Nationwide Recalled Due to Yeast, Mold, Microbial Contamination

A nasal spray that was distributed nationwide has been recalled due to potential contamination, the Food and Drug Administration and the Hawaii Department of Health announced.

ReBoost Nasal Spray was recalled after it was “found to contain yeast/mold and microbial contamination,” the FDA states, adding, “There is a reasonable probability that adverse health consequences, including life-threatening infections, will occur with use of the product in the immuno-compromised population.”

The recalled product can be identified by the following information:

• NDC number: 62795-4005-9
• UPC number: 787647 10186 3
• Lot number: 224268
• Expiration date: 12/2027

The product was distributed nationwide, per the announcement but there is not yet a list of the stores where it may have been sold. The Hawaii Department of Health stated it is working with its Food and Drug Branch to ensure the product is no longer available for sale in the state. The company behind the product, MediNatura New Mexico, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
