Following the Sabra Dipping Co., LLC’s ("Sabra’s") recall where select Sabra's products were recalled due to the potential of being contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, Taylor Farms Tennessee, Inc., Taylor Farms Texas, Inc. and Taylor Farms Pacific, Inc. (all collectively referred to as “Taylor Farms”) are voluntarily recalling a limited number of products that contain Sabra's recalled products. The recalled products are labeled “Taylor Farms Veggie and Hummus Bistro Boxes” and “Schnucks Vegetable and Hummus Snack Trays” containing Sabra Hummus Classic 2 oz. dipping cups.
The Taylor Farms products subject to the recall are limited to the code dates provided. No other Taylor Farms products are impacted by this recall.

(Please refer to Sabra’s recall notice for details regarding individual Sabra items and lot codes/”Best Before” dates, also located on the lid or bottom of the dipping cups.)
These products are being recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which 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.
Taylor Farms has not received any reports of illnesses associated with these recalled items. The recalled products were distributed from October 30, 2016 – November 18, 2016. The grocers involved have been instructed to remove any remaining product from their shelves and to dispose of any of the remaining product in their inventory. The recalled products were distributed in Arkansas, California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.
Customers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume the products and should dispose of the recalled products immediately. Consumers may call for further information at (855) 455-0098 between the hours of 9 am (PST) and 5 pm (PST) Monday through Friday. Consumers with concerns about an illness from consumption of this product should contact a health care provider.

SentreHeart Recalls FindrWIRZ Guidewire System due to Coating Separation
The FDA has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious injuries or death.
Recalled Product:
FindrWIRZ Guidewire System
Lot Numbers: 01160568, 02160586, (no products shipped from this lot) 07160639 -150
Distribution Dates: June 1, 2016 to September 26, 2016
Manufacturing Dates: January 4, 2016 to July 22, 2016
Devices Recalled in the U.S.: 98
Device Use
The FindrWIRZ Guidewire System is intended for use during minimally invasive procedures in the cerebrovascular, cardiovascular and peripheral vascular systems. The system helps the positioning of over-the-wire catheters through the insertion of a thin flexible tube into arteries of the leg or wrist. This device has a hydrophilic lubricious coating, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), to reduce friction between the device and blood vessels.
Reason for Recall
SentreHeart is recalling the FindrWIRZ Guidewire System because the PTFE coating may separate (e.g., peel, flake, shed, delaminate, slough off) from the packaging and potentially cause serious injuries to patients. Coating separation may be caused by issues with the device design or manufacturing processes. Small pieces of the coating could break away and travel elsewhere in the body, or the exposed wire beneath the coating could cause dangerous blood clots in the patient’s bloodstream and can lead to serious adverse health consequences including embolism, stroke, or death.
Who May be Affected
Health care providers using this device during vascular procedures
All patient groups undergoing procedures involving the FindrWIRZ Guidewire System
What to Do
On September 29, 2016, SentreHeart sent an Urgent Medical Device Voluntary Recall letter to all affected customers. The letter asked customers to:
Identify and stop using the affected products
Return the affected products to SentreHEART immediately
Complete and return the response form via fax 650-354-1204 or email to customerservice@sentreheart.com
Contact Information
Health care professionals and consumers with questions are instructed to contact SentreHeart at (650)-241-6008 with any questions related to this recall.
Date Recall Initiated
September 29, 2016
How do I report a problem?
Health care professionals and consumers may report adverse reactions or quality problems they experienced using these devices to MedWatch: The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program either online, by regular mail or by FAX to 1-800-FDA-0178.

Tri-Coast Pharmacy Inc. Voluntarily Recalling All Sterile Products Prepared Between May 17, 2016 and November 17, 2016 Due to Concern Over Lack of Sterility Assurance
For Immediate Release
November 18, 2016

Consumers
Tri-Coast Pharmacy Inc.
1-561-776-7510
Announcement
Juno Beach, FL – Tri-Coast Pharmacy Inc. is voluntarily recalling all sterile products prepared between May 17, 2016 and November 17, 2016 and that remain within expiry (list is attached below) due to Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) concerns over the lack of sterility assurance of the drugs named in this recall.
Administration of a drug product intended to be sterile that has microbial contamination has the potential to result in serious infections which may be life-threatening. No portion of any lot of these medications has been found to be non-sterile, but the FDA is concerned that the conditions under which they were produced introduce a lack of sterility assurance for these products. To date, Tri-Coast Pharmacy has received no adverse event reports for these products.
The recalled drug products were used for a variety of indications. All recalled products have a Tri-Coast Pharmacy Inc. label that includes the name Tri-Coast Pharmacy Inc., our logo, the drug name, lot number and the expiration date. In the event a patient is unsure if their product is on the list of recalled drugs, we ask that they call the pharmacy to inquire. The phone number is 1 (561) 776-7510 or toll free at 1 (877) 823-3284.
Tri-Coast Pharmacy’s primary concern is to ensure patient safety. All patients and providers that received any sterile compounded products from Tri-Coast Pharmacy Inc. prepared between May 17, 2016 and November 17, 2016 and that remain with expiry, should take the following actions:
· Quarantine any unused product until further instruction are received to facilitate the product being returned to Tri-Coast Pharmacy Inc.
· Discontinue the use of any products contained in the recall
· Please contact Tri-Coast Pharmacy Inc at 1 (561) 776-7510 or our toll free number 1 (877) 823-3284, Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm EST. or email at pharmacist@tricoastrx.com to discuss the returning of any unused product associated with his recall.
Patients should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be associated with using these products. Providers who have dispensed any sterile products prepared between May 17, 2016 and November 17, 2016 to a patient should contact the patient(s) to whom the product was dispensed and make the patient(s) aware of this recall.
Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of this product may be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or by fax.
· Complete and submit the report Online: www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm
· Regular Mail or Fax: Download form www.fda.gov/MedWatch/getforms.htm or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178
This recall is being conducted with the knowledge and in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Patient safety is the primary concern at Tri-Coast Pharmacy Inc. and we are taking this voluntary action out of an abundance of caution. Thank you.

Folks I need to make a change in the way I post recalls. Hopefully this will only last for a few weeks but it could be several months. I am having major back problems that is also affecting my mental health. I can’t concentrate on things like I need to and some of these recalls take quite a bit of time.
I have some that I had ready to post and I will do those in full form. After those are done I will only be posting the link that you will need to follow to read the full text. I will note what the recall is about and the amount as usual.
I hope you will have patience with me until I get through this issue.

FDA Removes Approval for the Use of PFCs in Food Packaging Based on the Abandonment
November 21, 2016
In response to a petition filed on behalf of the 3M Corporation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is amending a food additive regulation to no longer authorize the use of two long-chain perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) used in “grease-proof” food packaging. 3M’s petition provided evidence that the use of these compounds, for which 3M stated it was the sole domestic and international manufacturer, has been completely and permanently abandoned by industry in the U.S. market. FDA’s action in amending this regulation is not based on a safety evaluation; rather, it is based on the abandonment of these uses. Although manufacturers have voluntarily stopped using these products, FDA’s action means that any food additive use of the PFCs covered by the regulations is no longer authorized.
The FDA had authorized the use of long-chain PFCs for specific food-contact uses such as coatings on fast-food wrappers, to-go boxes, and pizza boxes before new scientific information brought safety concerns to light. In 2010, the FDA identified safety concerns through a comprehensive review of the available literature. These safety concerns included systemic and developmental toxicity in combination with biopersistence. The FDA then worked with industry to stop distribution of the long-chain PFCs most commonly used in food packaging at that time, which are authorized under food contact notifications. By October 1, 2011 these manufacturers had assured the FDA that they had voluntarily stopped distributing these long-chain PFCs.
In January 2016, the FDA amended a food additive regulation to no longer allow the use of three long-chained PFCs, and is now amending this regulation to no longer authorize the remaining two long-chain PFCs. The FDA’s action means that any food additive use of these substances is no longer allowed. If a company wanted to use these products in the future as food additives, it would have to submit a new application to the agency and demonstrate that its use in food is safe.
The publication of the final rule revoking the food additive regulation includes a 30 day period to file objections by any person adversely affected by this action. Objections can be submitted electronically to http://www.regulations.gov under FDA docket #FDA-2016-F-1153 starting on November 22, 2016.
To submit objections by mail, send to FDA at:
Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305)
Food and Drug Administration
5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061
Rockville, MD 20852
All objections must include the agency name and docket number.

San Antonio, TX - H-E-B announced today that it has issued a precautionary recall of its entire H-E-B Baby Food 2 pack 4 oz. cups product line only. As of this afternoon, the H-E-B Baby Food 2 pack 4 oz. cups were removed from shelves out of an abundance of caution due to a customer report of a small piece of rubber found inside a single container of one variety of the product.
There have been no reports of injury or illness associated with this isolated incident, however the company is taking the issue very seriously and taking all necessary precautions.
“Though we have only received one report of a foreign material in H-E-B Baby Food 2 pack 4 oz. cups, as a company, we are committed to absolute and complete food safety. As a result of that commitment, coupled with the fact that we are dealing with a children’s product, we have made the decision to pull all of our H-E-B Baby Food 2 pack 4 oz. cups from our shelves,” said Winell Herron, H-E-B Group Vice President of Public Affairs, Diversity and Environmental Affairs.
H-E-B has launched a full investigation into the incident and is working closely with its H-E-B Baby Food manufacturer to ensure all safety measures are being taken when manufacturing the product. The FDA has been made aware of the recall.
H-E-B is encouraging customers who have any H-E-B Baby Food 2 pack 4 oz. cups in their pantries to return it to their nearest H-E-B store for a full refund.

FDA Advises Consumers of Recall of Certain Sabra Hummus Products
Consumers Should Not Eat Recalled Products Because of Possible Listeria Contamination
November 19, 2016
Fast Facts
Sabra Dipping Company LLC has recalled certain hummus products with a “Best Before” date on or before January 23, 2017, because the products have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria monocytogenes can cause a serious, potentially life-threatening infection called listeriosis.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration advises consumers not to eat the recalled products and to throw them away.
An FDA inspection of the Sabra Dipping Company LLC’s manufacturing facility in Colonial Heights, VA, revealed 27 swabs of the processing environment that contained Listeria monocytogenes. Analysis by pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed that one of the strains of Listeria monocytogenes found during the recent inspection matches a strain found in a retail product sample collected in 2015, indicating this strain of Listeria monocytogenes may be persistent in the production environment.
Symptoms of listeriosis include fever and muscle aches, sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. These symptoms can appear from a few days up to a few weeks after eating contaminated food. Listeriosis primarily affects older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and adults with weakened immune systems.
What is the Problem and What is Being Done About It?
On October 31, 2016, the FDA began an inspection of Sabra Dipping Company LLC’s manufacturing facility in Colonial Heights, VA. Nine environmental samples collected in food processing areas within the facility were positive for Listeria monocytogenes. On November 18, 2016, the FDA informed Sabra that an additional 18 environmental samples collected near food handling equipment were confirmed positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
One of the strains of Listeria monocytogenes found during the recent inspection matches a strain found in a retail product sample collected in 2015, indicating this strain of Listeria monocytogenes may be persistent in the production environment.
The FDA discussed the findings with Sabra including steps taken by Sabra since the inspection. On November 18, 2016, Sabra Dipping Company LLC initiated a voluntary recall of certain hummus products with a “Best Before” date on or before January 23, 2017, urging consumers to throw the product away. The products were distributed to retail outlets, including food service accounts and supermarkets, in the U.S. and Canada.
Consumers can find code and “Best Before” dates on the lid of each package. Below is a list of the recalled products.

What are the Symptoms of Listeriosis?
Listeriosis is a rare but serious illness usually caused by eating food contaminated with the bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes. Anyone who experiences fever and muscle aches, sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms, or develops fever and chills while pregnant after eating products contaminated with listeria should seek medical care and tell their health care provider about eating the potentially contaminated food. Symptoms can appear from a few days up to a few weeks after consumption of the contaminated food. Read more about food safety tips for expectant mothers.
Listeriosis, the third leading cause of death from food poisoning, targets pregnant women and their babies, people with weakened immune systems and those 65 years of age or older. Listeriosis hits these high-risk groups the hardest, accounting for at least 90 percent of reported Listeria infections and resulting in higher rates of hospitalization and death than most other foodborne bacteria. In pregnant women, listeriosis can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature labor, and serious illness or death in newborn babies.
What Do Retailers Need to Do?
Retailers should not serve or sell any of the recalled products and should dispose of them. If they do not know the source of their hummus, they should check with Sabra Dipping Company LLC.
Wash and sanitize display cases and refrigerators where potentially contaminated products were stored.
Wash and sanitize cutting boards, surfaces, and utensils used to cut, serve, or store potentially contaminated products.
Wash hands with warm water and soap following the cleaning and sanitation process.
Retailers, restaurants, and other food service operators who have processed and packaged any potentially contaminated products need to be concerned about cross-contamination of cutting surfaces and utensils through contact with the potentially contaminated products.
Regular frequent cleaning and sanitizing of cutting boards and utensils used in processing may help to minimize the likelihood of cross-contamination.
Listeria can grow at refrigeration temperatures in foods. Listeria can also cross-contaminate other food cut and served on the same cutting board or stored in the same area.
Retailers, restaurants, and other food service operators may wish to consider whether other foods available for sale could have been cross-contaminated from the potentially contaminated products, and should be discarded.
Firms who have re-labeled, re-packed, or used the recalled products to produce new products that have not received a thermal kill step should contact the FDA Recall Coordinator in your state to determine whether or not you should initiate a new recall of your product(s). View FDA District Recall Coordinators for each state.
What Do Consumers Need To Do?
The FDA urges consumers to not eat any of the recalled products and to check their homes for the recalled hummus.
To help avoid Listeria, consumers should follow these simple steps:
Wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food.
Wash the inside walls and shelves of the refrigerator, cutting boards and countertops; then sanitize them with a solution of one tablespoon of chlorine bleach to one gallon of hot water; then dry with a clean cloth or paper towel that has not been previously used.
Wipe up spills in the refrigerator immediately and clean the refrigerator regularly.
Always wash hands with warm water and soap following the cleaning and sanitization process.
Additional recommendations for preventing listeriosis are available at the CDC Listeria website.
Who Should be Contacted?
Consumers who have questions about the Sabra Dipping Company LLC’s recall may call the company’s customer relations hotline at 1-866-265-6761 for additional information and http://www.sabrahummusrecall.com for product reimbursement.The FDA also encourages consumers with questions about food safety to call 1-888-SAFEFOOD Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Eastern time, or to consult http://www.fda.gov.

Thanks for the prayers!
I have not heard from the neurosurgeon that I was to be referred to so I called my doctor's office. I was told no one told anyone about the referral. So they said they would call & then call me back which they did. Now I have to wait 89 more days to see this person. I was told the date could change & I would be notified if it does. And some people wonder why folks don't like the health care in this country.

FDA News Release
FDA approves Intrarosa for postmenopausal women experiencing pain during sex
For Immediate Release
November 17, 2016
Release
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Intrarosa (prasterone) to treat women experiencing moderate to severe pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA), due to menopause. Intrarosa is the first FDA approved product containing the active ingredient prasterone, which is also known as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).
During menopause, levels of estrogen decline in vaginal tissues, which may cause a condition known as VVA, leading to symptoms such as pain during sexual intercourse.
"Pain during sexual intercourse is one of the most frequent symptoms of VVA reported by postmenopausal women," said Audrey Gassman, M.D., deputy director of the Division of Bone, Reproductive, and Urologic Products (DBRUP) in the Office of Drug Evaluation III in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). "Intrarosa provides an additional treatment option for women seeking relief of dyspareunia caused by VVA."
Efficacy of Intrarosa, a once-daily vaginal insert, was established in two 12-week placebo-controlled clinical trials of 406 healthy postmenopausal women, 40 to 80 years of age, who identified moderate to severe pain during sexual intercourse as their most bothersome symptom of VVA. Women were randomly assigned to receive Intrarosa or a placebo vaginal insert. Intrarosa, when compared to placebo, was shown to reduce the severity of pain experienced during sexual intercourse.
The safety of Intrarosa was established in four 12-week placebo-controlled trials and one 52-week open-label trial. The most common adverse reactions were vaginal discharge and abnormal Pap smear.
Although DHEA is included in some dietary supplements, the efficacy and safety of those products have not been established for diagnosing, curing, mitigating, treating or preventing any disease.
Intrarosa is marketed by Quebec-based Endoceutics Inc.

Public Notification: ABX Weight Loss contains hidden drug ingredient
11-16-2016
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use ABX Weight Loss, a product promoted and sold for weight loss on the Web site, www.zxtbeepollenpills.com, and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that ABX Weight Loss contains sibutramine. Sibutramine is a controlled substance that was removed from the market in October 2010 for safety reasons. The product poses a threat to consumers because sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some people and may present a significant risk for people with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke. This product may also interact, in life-threatening ways, with other medications a consumer may be taking.
Health care professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of this product to FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:
Complete and submit the report online MedWatch Online Voluntary Reporting Form, or:
Download and complete the form, then submit it via fax at 1-800-FDA-0178.
Note: This notification is to inform the public of a growing trend of dietary supplements or conventional foods with hidden drugs and chemicals. These products are typically promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, and body building and are often represented as being “all natural.” FDA is unable to test and identify all products marketed as dietary supplements that have potentially harmful hidden ingredients. Consumers should exercise caution before purchasing any product in the above categories.

Marine Agrifuture, LLC. of Kahuku, HI, is recalling its “Kahuku Ogo”, “Robusta Ogo” and "Kahuku Sea Asparagus" 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.
The recalled "Kahuku Ogo", “Robusta Ogo”, and “Kahuku Sea Asparagus” were distributed mainly in Hawaii to Seafood and Produce Distributors through direct delivery, but also to some customers in CA, WA, NV, and Tokyo Japan, and retailed at local Farmers Markets in Hawaii.
The Ogo products come in a plastic bag of various weights from 0.5 LB to 35 LB, which were sold from November 2, 2016 and prior, and the Sea Asparagus in 4 Ounce, 1 LB clear plastic clamshell or in a 5 LB of plastic bag marked with a tracking number stamped on the lids or bags, which were sold from November 8, 2016 and prior. The corresponding UPC number for 4 OZ, 1 LB, and 5 LB of sea asparagus are 897680001010, 897680001027, and 897680001041 respectively.
Fourteen cases of Salmonella on Oahu have been reported to date in connection with this problem. The potential for contamination was noted after special tests by the Hawaii Department of Health revealed the presence of Salmonella in saltwater in the farm production and processing areas.
Production of the product has been suspended while FDA and the company continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.
Seafood and Produce companies that have purchased Kahuku Ogo, Robusta Ogo, and Kahuku Sea Asparagus described above are urged to stop using or selling or further distributing these products, to disposal of the products, and to have them let us know the amount that was destroyed for credit and reconciliation for your recall. Consumers who have purchased 1 LB or 0.5 LB package of Kahuku Ogo, Robusta Ogo, and 4 OZ package of Kahuku Sea Asparagus at Farmers Markets are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
