Walgreens Saline Nasal Spray WITH XYLITOL recall
FDA recall D-0179-2026 · initiated Nov 12, 2025
Medical Products Laboratories, Inc. recalled Walgreens Saline Nasal Spray WITH XYLITOL in Nov 2025 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0179-2026) because Microbial contamination of a non-sterile product - microorganism found to be pseudomonas lactis.

Why it was recalled
Microbial contamination of a non-sterile product - microorganism found to be pseudomonas lactis
Sterility could not be assured
The maker could not guarantee the product was sterile. That matters most for injections and eye products, where a contaminated dose reaches past the body's defences.
This is a manufacturing or quality failure, not a finding that the medicine is unsafe to take — across every recall we hold, none was issued for that reason. It does not mean the batch was harmless.
