Glutathione (MDV) recall
FDA recall D-0772-2026 · initiated Jul 1, 2026
Victory Medical Center Pharmacy recalled Glutathione (MDV) in Jul 2026 — an FDA Class I recall (D-0772-2026) because Microbial Contamination of Sterile Products - out of specifications results were obtained for bacterial endotoxin.
Most serious — a reasonable probability that use will cause serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
Microbial Contamination of Sterile Products - out of specifications results were obtained for bacterial endotoxin.
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.
