Five major food and drug recalls made headlines this month, for reasons ranging from undeclared allergens and bacterial contamination to unapproved ingredients and non-compliant drug requirements.

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has recalled certain bottles of the ADHD prescription drug lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, a generic version of Vyvanse. The drug “did not meet dissolution specifications,” meaning it did not dissolve as expected in the laboratory, which could make it less effective.
