New Jersey Compounding Pharmacy Recalls All Compounded Products Due to Mold Contamination
Med Prep Consulting, Inc, a New Jersey-based compounding pharmacy, voluntarily recalled all lots of all its compounded products after a Connecticut hospital discovered mold particles in five bags of an intravenous solution. Out of an abundance of caution, the pharmacy included all compounded products in its voluntary recall. The products were distributed through March 13, 2013, to regional hospital pharmacies in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Delaware. They are not available directly to patients through retail pharmacies or to home care patients for self-administration or nursing administration. FDA provides a full list of all Med Prep recalled compounded products. All facilities that received any product compounded by Med Prep Consulting, Inc, have been notified about the recall and have been instructed to remove and return the product to the pharmacy.
