Health Ministry recalls Ferinject 50 mg iron/mL in Qatar

The Ministry of Public Health in Qatar has announced a recall of all shipments of Ferinject 50 mg/mL. According to The Peninsula Qatar, the recall follows laboratory tests conducted by the Ministry which found the intravenous preparation non-compliant with the company's stated chemical specifications.

Separately, the Ministry of Health is investigating complaints regarding alleged food poisoning linked to Gardenia Bakeries (KL) Sdn Bhd products, specifically Gardenia Original Classic White Bread and Twiggies Choc-A-Lot. Malay Mail and the New Straits Times report that the ministry is awaiting laboratory analysis and will conduct follow-up inspections at the factory to verify compliance with the Food Act 1983.

While the company's internal investigation found no deviations in production processes, recipe changes, or non-compliance with food safety controls, the ministry noted these findings cannot yet form a definitive conclusion on the cause of reported symptoms. Both Malay Mail and the New Straits Times stated that traceability is limited due to incomplete batch numbers and expiry dates, though products and packaging have been collected for analysis.
