THE Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) expanded this Monday (22) the release of products from Ype and authorized the sale and use of detergents and disinfectants manufactured from January 1, 2026.
According to the agency, the new release was possible because the company presented reports with satisfactory results for all batches of detergents and disinfectants manufactured between January and February this year. As a result, only products in these categories produced until December 31, 2025 remain suspended.
The agency also informed that the company will voluntarily recall liquid washing liquids with the end of batch 1 produced by March 31 of this year, but did not inform the reason why they remain suspended. Ypê did not inform how it will collect the products.
