Anazao Health Recalls Morphine Sulfate Due to Fungal Contamination

Anazao Health is recalling Morphine Sulfate products because environmental sampling detected Talaromyces rotundus, a type of fungus.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the contamination is a low-level fungal presence (1 CFU) detected via environmental sampling, fitting the criteria for a moderate, precautionary recall.
