Beekeeper’s Naturals has issued a voluntary recall for 585 units of its Saline Nasal Spray after tests revealed microbiological contamination, including yeast and potential Aspergillus mold. According to a June 12, 2026, announcement posted on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website, the recalled products were sold on Amazon between April 2 and April 24, 2026. The company has received four reports of adverse reactions linked to the product.
Which specific products are affected by the recall?
The recall is limited to a single specific batch of Beekeeper’s Naturals Saline Nasal Spray. Consumers should check the bottom of their 1-fluid-ounce (30 mL) bottles for the following identifiers:
- Lot Number: 5950
- Expiration Date: February 2028
The affected bottles feature a distinctive brown plastic design with a yellow cap and label. According to the company, other products in their line, such as the Nasal Spray Max, are not included in this recall. Consumers who possess a bottle with the matching lot number should discontinue use immediately.
What are the health risks of mold contamination?
The primary concern regarding this recall is the presence of Aspergillus, a fungus commonly found in soil that can lead to a condition known as aspergillosis. According to George Washington University, exposure to this mold through a nasal product can be particularly dangerous for individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying lung diseases.
The company stated that the contamination could lead to “serious and life-threatening infections,” including invasive sinusitis and lung infections. The Mayo Clinic notes that common symptoms of such infections include shortness of breath, cough, and fever; in severe cases, patients may cough up blood.
