With certain exceptions not applicable here, new drugs may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved application from FDA in effect, as described in sections 505(a) and 301(d) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(a) and 331(d). No FDA-approved application pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, is in effect for this product. Accordingly, this product is an unapproved new drug marketed in violation of sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).\n\nWe note that “Allergy Bee Gone for Kids” is labeled as a homeopathic drug with active ingredients measured in homeopathic strengths. Under section 201(g)(1) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1), the term “drug” includes articles recognized in the official Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS), or any supplement to it. Homeopathic drug products are subject to the same statutory requirements as other drugs; nothing in the FD&C Act exempts homeopathic drugs from any of the requirements related to adulteration, misbranding, or approval.\n\nAdulteration Violations\n\nFDA laboratory testing of a batch of Allergy Bee Gone For Kids Nasal Swab Remedy drug product (lot 2006491) found that it contained objectionable microbial contamination. The individual sample results from the tested batch spanned between 50 and 770 colony forming units (CFU)\u002FmL for total aerobic microbial count, and between 5 and 70 CFU\u002FmL for total yeast and mold counts. Therefore, this homeopathic drug product is adulterated under section 501(a)(1) of the FD&C Act, in that it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance.\n\nMicroorganisms identified included Bacillus cereus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus atrophaeus and others. Bacillus cereus produces a toxin and is pathogenic to humans. The labeling on your product indicates it may be used for children as young as 1 year old. The high bioburden and presence of objectionable microorganisms in conjunction with the route of administration poses a high risk of harm to patients, including children.\n\nDuring the FDA teleconference on May 24, 2022, you stated that your drug products are manufactured by a contract manufacturer and that your drug products are tested before release by your contract manufacturer. During the call, you agreed to conduct a voluntary recall of the lot currently in U.S. distribution.\n\nOn June 7, 2022, you conducted a voluntary recall of lot 2006491 of Allergy Bee Gone For Kids Nasal Swab Remedy to the consumer level due to potential microbial contamination, as noted on the following FDA website:\n\nhttps:\u002F\u002Fwww.fda.gov\u002Fsafety\u002Frecalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts\u002Fbuzzagogo-inc-issues-voluntary-nationwide-recall-allergy-bee-gone-kids-nasal-swab-remedy-due\n\nIn response to this letter, provide:\n\nThe name and address of the contract organizations you are currently using to manufacture and conduct microbiological analysis on Allergy Bee Gone For Kids Nasal Swab Remedy.\n\nA comprehensive, independent assessment of the design and control of your firm’s manufacturing operations, with a detailed and thorough review of all microbiological hazards.\n\nA detailed risk assessment addressing the hazards posed by distributing drug products with potentially objectionable contamination. Specify actions you will take in response to the risk assessment, such as customer notifications and product recalls.\n\nComplete investigations into all batches with potential objectionable microbial contamination (e.g., total counts, identification of bioburden to detect objectionable microbes). The investigations should detail your findings regarding the root causes of the contamination.\n\nAppropriate microbiological batch release specifications (e.g., total counts, identification of bioburden to detect objectionable microbes) for each of your drug products.\n\nAll microbial test methods used to analyze each of your drug products.\n\nA summary of results from testing retain samples of all drug product batches within expected period of marketing. You should test all appropriate quality attributes including, but not limited to, microbiological quality (total counts and identification of bioburden to detect any objectionable microbes) of each batch. If testing yields an OOS result, indicate the corrective actions you will take, including notifying customers and initiating recalls.\n\nUse of Contract Manufacturers\n\nDrugs must be manufactured in conformance with CGMP. FDA is aware that many drug manufacturers use independent contractors such as production facilities, testing laboratories, packagers, and labelers. FDA regards contractors as extensions of the manufacturer.\n\nYou are responsible for the quality of your drugs regardless of agreements in place with your contract facilities. You are required to ensure that drugs are made in accordance with section 501(a)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act. For additional information regarding contract manufacturing, you may refer to FDA’s guidance document Contract Manufacturing Arrangements for Drugs: Quality Agreements at https:\u002F\u002Fwww.fda.gov\u002Fmedia\u002F86193\u002Fdownload.\n\nConclusion\n\nThis letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive statement of violations that may exist in connection with your products. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations. It is your responsibility to ensure that your firm complies with all requirements of federal law, including FDA regulations.\n\nThis letter notifies you of our concerns and provides you an opportunity to address them. Failure to adequately address any violations may result in legal action including, without limitation, seizure and injunction.\n\nPlease notify FDA in writing, within fifteen working days of receipt of this letter, of the specific steps you have taken to address any violations. Include an explanation of each step being taken to prevent the recurrence of violations, as well as copies of related documentation. If you cannot complete corrective action within fifteen working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which you will do so. If you believe that your products are not in violation of the FD&C Act, include your reasoning and any supporting information for our consideration.\n\nYour response should be sent to U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research\u002FOffice of Compliance\u002FOffice of Unapproved Drugs and Labeling Compliance by email to FDAADVISORY@fda.hhs.gov.\n\nSincerely,\n\n\u002FS\u002F\n\nJill Furman\n\nActing Director\n\nOffice of Compliance\n\nCenter for Drug Evaluation and Research\n\nFood and Drug Administration","2026-08-20T01:17:56.577+00:00",[22,23,24,9,10,25,25,25],"\u003Ctime datetime=\"2023-01-24T14:20:00Z\">01\u002F24\u002F2023\u003C\u002Ftime>\n","\u003Ctime datetime=\"2023-01-18T05:00:00Z\">01\u002F18\u002F2023\u003C\u002Ftime>\n","\u003Ca href=\"\u002Finspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations\u002Fwarning-letters\u002Fbuzzagogo-llc-639545-01182023\">Buzzagogo, LLC\u003C\u002Fa>","","2026-08-18T06:42:29.145918+00:00","2026-08-20T02:24:56.344395+00:00",{"510k":29,"classification":30,"enforcement":31,"event":32,"pma":33,"warning_letter":34},"2026-08-18T06:35:18.347+00:00","2026-08-18T05:52:53.75+00:00","2026-08-18T08:01:54.918+00:00","2026-08-19T02:58:35.995+00:00","2026-08-18T06:36:30.549+00:00","2026-08-20T03:28:02.95+00:00"]
