Class 2 Recall on Paracetamol 500mg (1000s) M&A Pharma

M & A Pharmachem is recalling the above batches as a precautionary measure, because a small number of pots from some batches have been found to contain discoloured tablets due to fungal contamination. The fungus has been identified as Penicillium citrinum. It is unlikely that any affected tablets will have got to patient level as the discolouration is noticeable on opening affected packs.

Please visit the: MHRA website for more details on this drug alert.

The affected products' details are as follows:

PIP Code	Product Description	Supplier	Affected Batch
