Anvisa clears some Ypê cleaning products made from November 2025
Brazil’s health regulator, Anvisa, cleared some Ypê cleaning products made from November 2025 for sale, distribution and use.
The clearance covers certain dishwashing detergents and disinfectants made between November 1 and December 31, 2025.
Lots with a number ending in 1 made by October 31 remain restricted.
Anvisa had restricted more than 100 lots of Ypê dishwashing liquid, liquid laundry soap and disinfectants after inspections found production problems that could allow bacterial contamination.
The concern involved Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium previously detected at the factory.
The new clearance followed satisfactory test results submitted by the manufacturer, Química Amparo.
Ypê said it had also submitted test results for products made in May and June 2025, but Anvisa has not formally cleared those products.
Anvisa authorized the sale, distribution and use of some Ypê cleaning products made from November 1, 2025.
The authorization covers products with lot numbers ending in “1” that were made from November 1, 2025.
Products with lot numbers ending in “1” made through October 31, 2025 remain suspended.
The decision followed satisfactory test results for products made in November and December 2025.
The authorization covers specified dishwashing detergents and disinfectants.
