The Food and Drug Administration announced three major recalls recently.
Soaps, sanitizers, and skincare products produced by DermaRite were recalled over contamination with bacteria that can cause sepsis in people with compromised immune systems.
Frozen vegetable mixes from Endrico tested positive for Listeria, and a Taylor Farms salad kit was pulled from shelves over a dangerous labeling error.
Here’s what you need to check.
A number of products from DermaRite Industries were recalled in the U.S. and Puerto Rico at the end of August.
The items may be contaminated with the bacteria Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc). In healthy people, Bcc may cause local skin infections in open cuts or wounds.
But in the immunocompromised, Bcc can enter the bloodstream and cause a severe infection that leads to sepsis, the body’s extreme reaction to infections that can be life-threatening.
Check your bathroom and medicine cabinet for the recalled products, and discard them—especially if you have a weakened immune system or care for an immunocompromised patient or loved one.

Two frozen veggie mixes from the brand Endrico were recalled on Sept. 3 due to bacterial contamination.
The recalled products tested positive for Listeria, which can cause serious infections and is a leading cause of death from foodborne illness.
Look for the two items in your freezer and throw them away. If you’ve already consumed the frozen vegetables, monitor for common Listeria symptoms.

In late August, Taylor Farms recalled one of its salad kits, sold at major retailers like Kroger and Walmart across 25 states.
Asian Sesame Ginger dressing was mistakenly put in the Honey Balsamic Salad Kits, resulting in undeclared sesame and soy allergens.
For those with sesame or soy allergies, the recalled salads may cause serious or life-threatening allergic reactions. If you can consume sesame and soy, the salad kits are otherwise safe.
Still, the FDA is urging all customers to toss or return the recalled salad kits.
