$2 Million of Potentially Harmful Cosmetic Eye Product Seized by FDA

In mid-November the FDA issued a press release announcing the agency's seizure of Age Intervention Eyelash, which is sold and distributed by Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc. The FDA stated that it considered the product a misbranded drug for which a prior showing of safety and efficacy must be shown to- and approval obtained by- the FDA BEFORE marketing. The FDA also considered the product to be an adulterated cosmetic, as it contains a nasty thing called "bimatoprost."

These guys apparently didn't do what they were supposed to, instead calling the product a "cosmetic" for which prior FDA approval before marketing is not required; however, the company was still charged with adequately substantiating for safety before selling the product as a cosmetic.

Tyson Foods -- Antibiotic Chicken?

Nope. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has withdrawn its approval for Tyson's "raised without antibiotics" label. The Company apparently feeds the birds animal medication called ionophores. Read more....here.

Organic Milk Produced By Aurora Organic Dairy?

Not. Here's the link to the consent agreement entered into between the United States Department of Agriculture and Aurora Organic Dairy and another to Q&As on the Aurora Consent Agreement.

I understand that Aurora sold purported organic milk to many retailers, including Costco (sold under "Kirkland" label), Safeway (sold under "O Organics" label), Publix (sold under "High Meadows" label), Giant (sold under "Nature's Promise" label), Wild Oats and others.

Anyone who has further interest in Aurora's apparent misleading branding, let me know.
