FDA Issues Recall on Walgreens Saline Nasal Spray Due to Bacterial Contamination
Published: Nov. 28, 2025, 4:48 p.m.
In a significant public health announcement, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has mandated the recall of over 41,000 bottles of Walgreens Saline Nasal Spray with Xylitol following concerns of potential contamination with the bacteria Pseudomonas lactis. This specific contamination poses risks of skin infections, fever, chills, and diarrhea, particularly alarming for individuals with weakened immune systems.
Customers who have purchased the 1.5-ounce bottles are urged to cease use immediately and return the product to Walgreens. The affected items bear the National Drug Code (NDC) number 0363-3114-01 with specific lot numbers set to expire on February 28, 2027, and August 31, 2027.
The FDA has classified this recall as a Level II, suggesting that while the product may lead to temporary health issues for some, the risk of serious adverse health consequences is generally low.
In moments like these, it can be helpful to reflect on the biblical principle of care for one another, particularly in times of illness and uncertainty. We are reminded in 1 Corinthians 12:25-26 that “there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.” This verse underscores the importance of vigilance in protecting our health and the well-being of those around us.
As we navigate the complexities of health and wellness, let us remain mindful of our responsibility toward ourselves and our community. It is a moment ripe for not just safeguarding our physical health, but also nurturing our spiritual connections through acts of care and compassion.
In a world where recalls and warnings can feel overwhelming, consider this: Every challenge presents an opportunity for growth, reflection, and deeper connection—both in our communities and within ourselves. Take this moment to ensure your health is intact and perhaps reach out to someone else who might be in need, fostering a spirit of mutual support and understanding.
