- Description: Kitten milk replacers lead the recall list today

There are three newly posted FDA recalls since yesterday’s check. The most unusual involves kitten milk replacers sold nationwide that may be nutritionally deficient enough to cause permanent organ damage or death in young kittens. I found no comparably significant new CPSC, NHTSA or USDA FSIS recall today.

### Kitten milk replacers recalled nationwide — deficiencies can be fatal

**Revival Animal Health is recalling multiple lots of Shelter’s Choice and Breeder’s Edge feline milk replacers** because testing found low levels of potassium, copper, folic acid, choline and/or vitamin B6\. The products were sold **nationwide online and through retail pet stores**. ([U.S. Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/revival-animal-health-llc-voluntarily-recalls-feline-milk-replacers-due-inconsistent-levels-vitamins?ref=consumernews.ai))

This is potentially serious because newborn kittens depend entirely on milk for nutrition. FDA says the deficiencies can lead to **anemia, neurological problems, liver failure, kidney damage, skeletal disease and heart problems**, and may be fatal or cause permanent developmental damage. ([U.S. Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/revival-animal-health-llc-voluntarily-recalls-feline-milk-replacers-due-inconsistent-levels-vitamins?ref=consumernews.ai))

Affected products include several sizes of **Shelter’s Choice Feline Milk Replacer** and **Breeder’s Edge Foster Care Feline Milk Replacer**, with best-by dates ranging from **September 9, 2026 through March 12, 2028**. FDA provides the complete UPC and date list in its notice. ([U.S. Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/revival-animal-health-llc-voluntarily-recalls-feline-milk-replacers-due-inconsistent-levels-vitamins?ref=consumernews.ai))

No illnesses have been confirmed, but the company is investigating **nine complaints involving possible gastrointestinal and bone-development problems**. Consumers should stop feeding affected products immediately and contact the company for a refund; kittens showing symptoms should be evaluated by a veterinarian.

### Baxter IV dextrose — stainless-steel particles could cause embolism or death

**Baxter International recalled one lot of 70% Dextrose Injection, USP** on August 25 after stainless-steel particles were identified in the solution.

If the particles enter the bloodstream, Baxter and FDA warn they could cause **blocked or clotted blood vessels, pulmonary embolism, permanent organ damage or death**. No adverse events had been reported as of August 25\. ([U.S. Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/baxter-issues-voluntary-nationwide-recall-one-lot-70-dextrose-injection-due-potential-presence?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com))

The affected product is **70% Dextrose Injection in a 2,000 mL VIAFLEX container**, product code **2B0296H**, lot **Y495066**, expiration **July 31, 2027**. It was distributed to health-care providers and distributors in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. ([U.S. Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/baxter-issues-voluntary-nationwide-recall-one-lot-70-dextrose-injection-due-potential-presence?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com))

This is primarily a **hospital and home-infusion safety issue**, rather than an ordinary retail consumer recall. Baxter specifically says home-care facilities that used the affected product to compound parenteral nutrition should contact patients and replace those solutions. ([U.S. Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/baxter-issues-voluntary-nationwide-recall-one-lot-70-dextrose-injection-due-potential-presence?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com))

### Jalapeño ranch dressing — undeclared egg allergy hazard

**Jaime’s Foods ATX is recalling Jaime’s Spanish Village Jalapeno Ranch dressing** because eggs are not declared on the label. For someone with a severe egg allergy, eating it could produce a serious or life-threatening reaction. ([U.S. Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/jaimes-foods-atx-issues-allergy-alert-undeclared-egg-allergen-jaimes-spanish-village-jalapeno-ranch?ref=consumernews.ai))

The recalled **16-ounce glass jars**, UPC **199284564923**, have lot numbers **69, 86, 108, 113, 116 and 121**. They were sold beginning April 3 at Central Market stores in Texas and independent retailers around Austin. No illnesses have been reported. ([U.S. Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/jaimes-foods-atx-issues-allergy-alert-undeclared-egg-allergen-jaimes-spanish-village-jalapeno-ranch?ref=consumernews.ai))

### Other agency checks

**CPSC:** We found no new August 25 or August 26 national recall. The latest major CPSC actions remain the August 20 group previously covered.

**NHTSA:** No new urgent national vehicle-safety alert has appeared. NHTSA’s press-release page currently shows August 18 as its latest release and no newer recall-specific national announcement. ([NHTSA](https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com))

**USDA FSIS:** We found no new August 25 or August 26 meat, poultry or processed-egg recall or public-health alert in the current agency results.
