Pharmaceutical packaging plays a huge role in ensuring patient safety. One wrong detail, whether in terms of font size, dosage typo, or missed warning, can impact sales, business reputation, and patient well-being. Pharmacy chain Boots recalled more than 110,000 packs of 500-milligram paracetamol tablets because the outer cardboard packaging is correctly labelled: "Paracetamol 500mg Tablets" but the inner foil blister pack of pills instead reads: "Aspirin 300mg Dispersable Tablets".

Checklist

Mondelez Global recently recalled some cartons of Ritz crackers sandwiches over erroneous labeling. Instead of being labeled "Peanut Butter variety," the 8-, 20-, and 40-pack cartons of Ritz peanut butter cracker sandwiches were labeled "Cheese variety." Because of unreported allergens, Trader Joe’s voluntarily recalled its Hot Honey Mustard Dressing earlier this year. No allergen callouts for wheat, peanuts, soy, or sesame were in the final packaging. Food allergies can cause symptoms ranging from minor discomfort to hospital emergencies, so labeling an allergen is never an option.
