I have a recall notice here for you regarding Heartburn drug ZANTAC recalled in Canada, U.S. over contamination fears.
Sanofi is recalling the following items because they may contain the impurity N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) above acceptable levels:
- Zantac 150mg 150ct (All provinces except Quebec)
- Zantac 150mg 50ct (Quebec only)
If you have purchased either of these please do not use them and return them to where you bought them from.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said a potentially cancer-causing chemical had been detected at low levels in prescription and over-the-counter versions of Zantac. I suggest using a different treatment.
Some more info about the Zantac recall below followed by a few links.
“The recall, originally released in September, is now including the over-the-counter medications like Zantac because of the suspected high levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA.)
While a possible carcinogen, Health Canada says foods such as meats, dairy and vegetables all contain low levels of NDMA that are not harmful when ingested.
Health Canada says they are working to review the issue of NDMA and other contaminants in blood pressure medications.
For now, companies have stopped the distribution of all ranitidine drugs across Canada until more tests are done to confirm that NDMA levels in these products are safe for consumption.
Health Canada is advising consumers who take a ranitidine medication to speak with their doctor or pharmacist about an alternative treatment option. ”
So there you go, there’s a bunch of info for you on whats happening regarding that recall.
As always with any recall make sure you check product numbers, read all the info and be careful!
Take care folks, see you on Monday!
Unless I did something wrong, the image for this week’s Canada East Costco sales is unreadable. The one page shown at the link in my email is a low resolution .png of 768 x 417 px in size. Zooming only makes it worse.

A friend recently informed me of your list and this is only the 2nd one I’ve received. I am not a Facebook or Instagram user, what’s the fix for people like me? Did I miss something ??
Thanks.
PS: I tried 3 different browsers, same result.
Hey there Joe, it’s an error on my part. I must have uploaded a lesser quality picture of made a mistake re-sizing it. It should be OK now though, I uploaded a new copy and it should be up there now for you. Thanks for letting me know!
