Check Your Fridge—Coca-Cola Has Recalled Nearly 900 Soda Cases
Before you crack open your next can of Coca-Cola, there's yet another food recall you should absolutely know about. According to a report shared by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), select cans of Coca-Cola Original Taste have been voluntarily recalled due to the presence of a foreign object, specifically plastic.
The original recall occurred earlier this month and has since been updated to "Class II" by the FDA. The organization states that a Class II recall is one that "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."
Nearly 900 cases of the sodas, which were available in 12-count packs, were recalled from the states of Illinois and Wisconsin. At this point, no other states are included in the recall. The FDA reports that the recalled sodas were bottled and distributed by Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC, in Milwaukee. For a list of the affected UPC codes, visit the FDA's site.
"Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling is voluntarily recalling 864 cases of 12-pack Coca-Cola Classic in 12-oz cans in Illinois and Wisconsin," a company spokesperson said Wednesday in an emailed statement to USA TODAY. "The cases are being withdrawn because they did not meet our high-quality standards. We are taking this voluntary action because nothing is more important to us than providing high-quality products to the people who drink our beverages."
The FDA has not provided specific advice for handling recalled sodas. However, standard procedure is to, of course, not drink them and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
This latest recall serves as just one of many that have occurred due to the presence of a foreign material. Most recently, an assortment of Stouffer's and Lean Cuisine frozen entrées were recalled due to the possible presence of "wood-like" material.

FDA Okays Ketamine-Based Med for Post-Surgical Pain
The FDA has approved the racemic ketamine product known as KETARx (PharmaTher Holdings) for the treatment of post-surgical pain. 'This historic FDA approval…is a testament to years of dedicated development,' Fabio Chianelli, chairman and CEO of PharmaTher, said in a release. 'We remain steadfast in our mission to harness the pharmaceutical potential of ketamine for a range of mental health, neurological, and pain disorders,' he added. The company noted that it hopes to expand ketamine development into conditions such as Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, depression, and complex regional pain syndrome. Its product has already received an orphan drug designation for the treatment of Rett syndrome. It added that, among psychedelic and 'psychedelic-adjacent' drugs, ketamine is the only one to be included on a list of Essential Medicines by the World Health Organization. The company initially announced that the FDA had set an approval goal date of April 2024 for KETARx. However, after 'minor deficiencies identified by Quality' were identified, the FDA assigned a new target date of October 2024. As reported by Medscape Medical News at the time, the FDA issued a complete response letter requesting additional information on the application. The final date of August 2025 was set after the company submitted the requested additional information.

Handsoaps Recalled Over Bacteria That Can Cause Sepsis
Four brands of soap and skin products are being recalled by their manufacturer after they were discovered to potentially be contaminated with bacteria that can cause infections, and even lead to sepsis in immunosuppressed people, according to announcements from the FDA and DermaRite Industries. The products, DermaKleen, KleenFoam, DermaSarra, and PeriGiene, have been recalled nationwide in the U.S. and Puerto Rico over the bacteria Burkholderia cepacia (spelled as cepecia in the FDA press release), though the health agency didn't indicate how the contamination of the soaps may have occurred. The announcements from the FDA and DermaRite Industries also didn't state where the soaps and skin products were sold, though listings online suggest the soaps are often purchased by companies and institutions for use in public facilities. It's not clear how popular the products may be at physical retail stores where the average consumer might buy them for use in the home, though they are available at online retailers like Amazon. Neither DermaRite nor the FDA immediately responded to questions Monday. The FDA's description of the recalled products: 'In healthy individuals with minor skin lesions the use of the product will more likely result in local infections, whereas in immunocompromised individuals the infection is more likely to spread into blood stream leading to life-threatening sepsis,' the company said in a statement posted online. 'To date, DermaRite has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.' Consumers who believe they're experiencing issues after using these products are encouraged to contact their doctors. The lot numbers and expiration dates for the recalled products, according to DermaRite: Consumers who have questions about the recall are encouraged to call Mary Goldberg at DermaRite Industries at the number 973-569-9000 x104, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm ET, according to the company's press release. The company can also be reached by email at: [email protected].

Nationwide recall alert: Soap products may cause sepsis, life-threatening infections
A voluntary recall has been initiated for certain soap products that could contain bacteria which can lead to 'life-threatening infections' including sepsis, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). DermaRite Industries initiated the recall after discovering the products may be contaminated with Burkholderia Cepacia. This bacteria can cause local infections in healthy people with cuts, but it poses a serious risk to those with weakened immune systems, potentially leading to life-threatening sepsis if it enters the bloodstream. Exposure to Burkholderia Cepacia can lead to various symptoms from no symptoms at all to serious respiratory infections especially in patients with cystic fibrosis or other chronic lung disease, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Other symptoms may include fever and fatigue. 'DermaRite has notified its distributors and customers by e-mail to immediately examine available inventory and destroy all affected products in accordance with each facility's process,' the statement reads. 'Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this product.' The products being recalled are: DermaKleen, an over-the-counter healthcare antiseptic lotion soap with vitamin E DermaSarra, an over-the-counter gel used for temporary relief of itching associated with minor skin irritations due to dry skin, insect bites, detergents, sunburn KleenFoam, an over-the-counter foam soap with Aloe Vera used for handwashing PeriGiene, an over-the-counter antiseptic cleaner used for the perineal area The recalled products were distributed across the United States and in Puerto Rico, the FDA said. DermaRite had not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall. However, customers can report reactions or quality issues related to the products to FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online or by mail or fax by downloading this form.
