FDA extends shelf life of some COVID tests

Please see the table for updated expiration date for covid tests

While the need to regularly test for COVID has decreased since the height of the pandemic, COVID testing remains an important intervention in stopping the spread of the COVID virus. The Food Depository regularly receives truckloads of COVID tests that we make available to partners on Agency Express. Some of these tests may appear expired, but the FDA has granted 11-month to 24-month shelf-life extensions on Siemens Healthineers CLINITEST Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Self-Tests.

Youngstown Grape Distributors Inc. Recalls Happy Moose Juice Tropical Roots and Happy Moose Strawberry Fields Because of Possible Health Risk

Youngstown Grape Distributors Inc., a co-manufacturer for Happy Moose Juice, is voluntarily recalling Happy Moose Tropical Roots Juice (Lot# H240903-E BEST BY 12/02/2024) and Happy Moose Strawberry Fields (Lot# H240903-H, BEST BY 12/02/2024) because a portion of the production made did not complete the High Pressure Processing (HPP) treatment, which is used to prolong the product shelf-life, prevent spoilage, and significantly reduce the risk of pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes and diarrheagenic E. coli. Those organisms could lead to serious illness if consumed.
