China NMPA Product Recall - Columbia agar medium

Barrett Biotechnology (Zhengzhou) Co., Ltd. initiated a voluntary Level III recall of its Columbia Agar Medium, as reported on December 5, 2018. The recall was prompted by bacterial contamination identified within a specific batch of the product. This action falls under the regulatory oversight of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). The company proactively reported this issue and commenced the recall to address the contamination. The document does not specify inspection dates, as it details a company-initiated voluntary recall rather than an enforcement action following an inspection. The required action for the company is the complete recall of the identified contaminated batch of Columbia Agar Medium, ensuring the removal of the compromised product from the market to safeguard public health and product integrity.
