A huge range of popular brand-name products from food to pharmaceuticals, including Cheerios and Tylenol, have been recalled due to potential salmonella contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Gold Star Distribution, Inc., which oversees distribution of a wide range of foods, drugs and other groceries, is recalling "All FDA-regulated products" that were sent from a specific holding facility "including drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, dietary supplements, human food, and pet food," due to rodent and avian contamination.
The recall was first announced December 26, 2025.
The thousands of products recalled include Pringles snack chips, Maruchan ramen, Domino sugar, Arizona tea drinks, Gatorade drinks, Trojan condoms, Axe body spray, Colgate toothpaste, Tylenol pharmaceuticals, cereals including Cheerios and Lucky Charms, and pet foods including Purina puppy chow and Fancy Feast cat food.
A complete list of affected products is available on the FDA's website.
