1 of these recalls is still ongoing.
This code is not in the current FDA NDC directory — usual for a product that has since been discontinued or repackaged. The details below come from the recall notices themselves.
cGMP Deviations; FDA inspection of manufacturing facility observed potential Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) contamination, inadequate cleaning, inadequate microbiological testing, and insanitary conditions
Microbial Contamination of Non-sterile Products: contamination with Burkholderia lata.
Where to find this code. The NDC is printed on the pharmacy label and on the manufacturer's carton, usually as three groups of digits after “NDC”. The last group is the package size — two bottles of the same medicine can differ only in that group, and a recall may cover one but not the other.
