Atlas Pharmaceuticals, LLC is recalling 1,646 vials of its Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) Sterile Injection Solution, 500 mg/mL, because the product is labeled as being from a "Non-Corn Source" when it actually contains ingredients derived from corn. This recall affects 50 mL vials distributed to healthcare facilities and clinics in Arizona and Colorado between August 2019 and early 2020. Patients with severe corn allergies who receive this injection could experience a serious allergic reaction. If you have received this injection, you should contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately, especially if you have a known corn allergy.
The product is mislabeled as being free of corn, but it actually contains corn-sourced ingredients. This poses a significant risk of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis for patients with corn hypersensitivity who are administered the injection.
Return for refund and pharmacist consultation.
