Human food, pet food, medical devices, and drug products recalled due to possible Salmonella contamination, rodent activity and temperature abuse

Texas, United States

Inmar Supply Chain Solutions, LLC (“Inmar”), is voluntarily recalling FDA-regulated products contained in pallets stored in Inmar’s Arlington, Texas facility between May 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023. The FDA Recalled Products were stored in this facility during a time when there may have been a pest control problem at the facility. In addition, because of recent unusually hot weather, the FDA Recalled Products may have been subjected to temperatures in excess of the storage condition instructions on the product labeling. The Company has not received customer complaints or reports of adverse events related to this recall. The products were sold to salvage buyers.

Inmar has notified the salvage buyers by email and notified them to destroy any FDA Recalled Product. The notice didn't include a list of the recalled products. The FDA-regulated products include food, over-the-counter ("OTC") human or animal drugs, over-the-counter medical devices, dietary supplements, and/or cosmetics, medical devices such as diapers, toothbrushes, feminine hygiene, condoms, etc.

Risk Statement: There are numerous hazards associated with rodents including the potential presence of Salmonella. Use or consumption of affected products may present risk of illness due to the potential presence of Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in infants, young children, frail or elderly people, pregnant persons, persons with pre-existent pathology (e.g., patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy treatments, organ transplant recipient, etc.) 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. Additionally, products stored under temperatures in excess of storage conditions instructions in the product labeling could potentially lead to decreased product effectiveness.

In case you experience harm from these products, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.
