Notoginseng Tea recalled due to undeclared drugs
8th Avenue Pharmacy in Brooklyn, NY, is voluntarily recalling all lots within expiry of Notoginseng Formula Special Gout Granule, distributed by 8th Avenue Pharmacy, to the consumer level.
The products have been found to contain undeclared diclofenac and dexamethasone from FDA laboratory analysis.
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (commonly referred to as NSAIDs). NSAIDs may cause increased risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, as well as serious gastrointestinal damage, including bleeding, ulceration, and fatal perforation of the stomach and intestines. This hidden drug ingredient may also interact with other medications and significantly increase the risk of adverse events, particularly when consumers use multiple NSAID-containing products.
Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions. Corticosteroid use can impair a person’s ability to fight infections and can cause high blood sugar levels, muscle injuries and psychiatric problems. When corticosteroids are taken for a prolonged period, or at high doses, they can suppress the adrenal gland. Only licensed health care professionals can evaluate patients for the risk or existence of adrenal suppression. In addition, the undeclared dexamethasone in Notoginseng Formula Special Gout Granule may cause serious side effects when combined with other medications.
Notoginseng Formula Special Gout Granule was distributed Nationwide to via retail and ecommerce platforms including Amazon, Shopify, and Ebay, as well as at 8th Avenue Pharmacy location in Brooklyn, New York.
The product recall includes all lots within expiry of Notoginseng Gout Formula granule distributed by 8th Avenue Pharmacy. The product is a tea that is marketed as a gout treatment and is packaged in an orange and white box containing 10 tea packs. The product can be identified by UPC 6952115888087.
To date, 8th Avenue Pharmacy has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
Consumers taking Notoginseng Formula Special Gout Granule should immediately consult their health care professional to safely discontinue use of this product. The risks of withdrawal from corticosteroids should be assessed by a health care professional. Abrupt discontinuation can cause withdrawal symptoms.
Consumers/distributors/retailers that have Notoginseng Formula Special Gout Granule can return to place of purchase or discard it.
Consumers with questions regarding this recall can contact 8th Avenue Pharmacy by phone (347-893-4227) or email ([email protected]) between 9AM to 5PM Eastern standard time. Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product.

TGI Fridays boneless chicken bites recalled due to potential clear hard plastic
Simmons Prepared Foods Inc., a Van Buren, Ark. establishment, is recalling approximately 26,550 pounds of TGI Fridays boneless chicken bites products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically pieces of clear, hard plastic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The boneless chicken bites items were produced on Oct. 3, 2023. The following products are subject to recall [view labels]:
• 15-oz. carton containing “TGI FRIDAYS BONELESS CHICKEN BITES HONEY BBQ CHICKEN” with lot code KL3K03 and Best By date of 12/26/2024 located on the side of the carton.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-20287” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that it had received consumer complaints reporting that clear, hard plastic was found under the breading of the boneless chicken bites.
There have been no confirmed reports of injury or illness from consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
Members of the media with questions about the recall can contact Lainie Button, Director of Brand Management, Simmons Prepared Foods, Inc., at 479-215-2743 or [email protected]. Consumers with questions can call 1800-280-7185.

The Quaker Oats Company today announced the recall of specific granola bars and granola cereals listed below because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Spinach recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination
Fresh Express has issued a voluntary recall of a Fresh Express Spinach, 8 oz. size, with product code G332 and use-by date of December 15 and Publix Spinach, 9 oz size, with product code G332 and a now expired use-by date of December 14 due to a potential health risk from Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. Consumers with these symptoms of listeriosis should consult their health care provider.
The two recalled spinach items were distributed to retailers in seven states including AL, FL, GA, NC, SC, TN and VA.
Fresh Express Limited Product Recall December 15, 2023

Product codes are located on the front of the packages below the use-by dates. Photos are provided for ease of identifying the products.
To date no illnesses are reported in connection with the recall and no other Fresh Express products are being recalled.
The recall was initiated after routine sampling conducted by the Florida Department of Agriculture yielded a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes in a single randomly selected package of spinach. Fresh Express immediately notified affected retailers and instructed them to remove the recalled items from store shelves and all inventories.
In the event consumers have the recalled products in their refrigerators, they should be discarded and not consumed. To obtain a refund or for more information, consumers may call the Fresh Express Consumer Response Center at (800) 242-5472 between the hours of 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Refunds are also available where purchased.
