Ypê filed an appeal with suspensive effect, but kept two plants in Amparo (SP) shut down to accelerate the adjustments required by Anvisa. The agency identified non-compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices and registered contamination by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 80 batches produced between December 2025 and April 2026.

The collegiate board of the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) decides this Wednesday (13) whether to maintain or overturn the suspension of the manufacturing and commercialization of a series of Ypê products. The decision affects the brand’s dishwashing detergents, disinfectants, and liquid laundry detergents, all produced at the industrial complex in Amparo, in the interior of São Paulo.

The company filed an appeal with automatic suspensive effect, but chose to keep two plants in the industrial park paralyzed while it implements adjustments required by inspectors. Until Anvisa’s collegiate board makes a statement, the agency’s official guidance remains not to use the items listed in the inspection report.

Anvisa decides this Wednesday (13) whether to maintain the suspension of Ypê detergents, disinfectants, and laundry detergents. Two factories in Amparo (SP) remain shut down. See the list.

For consumers who have brand items at home, the detail is on the packaging. The final number 1 in the batch indicates that the product was manufactured at Ypê’s industrial complex in Amparo (SP), the company’s headquarters and the location affected by the sanitary inspection.

What Anvisa found in the inspections

Anvisa’s report points out significant non-compliance with the so-called Good Manufacturing Practices, a set of mandatory technical standards that ensure the safety, quality, and efficacy of products such as sanitizers, medicines, food, and cosmetics.

Among the critical points, inspectors reported equipment with signs of corrosion and what the document describes as “significant non-compliance in critical stages of the production process.” The state of conservation of the dishwashing product handling tank was also highlighted as problematic in the report.

Inspectors also found, in the same unit, product residues stored and returned to the filling lines. For the agency, the combination of these failures compromises good manufacturing practices and represents a sanitary risk, with the possibility of microbiological contamination.

80 batches with Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination

One of the most sensitive points of the report involves microbiological tests. Between December 2025 and April 2026, the company recorded out-of-specification results in 80 batches of finished products.

Part of the tests came back positive for the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a microorganism that can cause infections and poses a health risk, especially in immunocompromised individuals. According to the inspection, these batches were not rejected by internal quality control and remained stored awaiting “financial definition.”

Ypê states that the contaminated batches are stored and protected, and would not reach the market. “What we want to show is that consumer safety is something we aim for, that we care about, and as an organization, we would not put anyone’s health at risk,” said Eduardo Beira, the company’s Executive Director of Operations.

Task force at the shut-down factories in Amparo

The two paralyzed plants correspond to specific sectors of the complex. One manufactures detergents and the other produces liquid laundry detergents and disinfectants, precisely the categories affected by Anvisa’s suspension.

Around 400 employees work in three shifts in these units, according to the executive. The company set up an internal task force to accelerate the cleaning, painting, and maintenance of equipment identified as irregular in the report.

“We mobilized the entire team to work on cleaning, painting, and maintenance. We are really working to resolve everything that Anvisa has brought to our attention,” said Beira during the guided visit of journalists to the factory.

What the Collegiate Board decides this Wednesday

The Collegiate Board is Anvisa’s highest authority. It will discuss in the coming days whether to maintain or withdraw the suspensive effect obtained by Ypê with the appeal presented.

After this decision, the case will follow the agency’s traditional procedure, with an analysis of the merits of the appeal itself. According to Alexandre Nemer Elias, a lawyer specializing in sanitary regulatory law, this stage falls to the General Management of Appeals.

The process is expected to unfold on other fronts, as Anvisa will also monitor the recall of products by the manufacturer. This second procedure involves the state Procon and the National Consumer Secretariat (Senacon), consumer protection agencies.

Which Ypê products are on Anvisa’s list

The list released by the agency includes products from the three affected categories: dish soap, liquid laundry detergent, and disinfectants. Check the listed items:

Anvisa maintains guidance not to use the products

The agency confirmed, on Friday, that Ypê’s appeal has an automatic suspensive effect. Despite this, the technical sanitary risk assessment has not been reviewed yet.

In practice, this means that consumers who have any item from the list at home should avoid using it until Anvisa’s Collegiate Board takes a stance on the case. In a note, the agency reinforced its position: the determined actions are under suspensive effect until judgment, but the technical recommendation not to use them remains valid.

Resolution 1.834/2026, cited in the case, is the administrative instrument that formalizes the agency’s determination regarding the company. The withdrawal or maintenance of the suspensive effect is in the hands of the Collegiate Board precisely because there is a sanitary risk involved.

The case reopens the debate on transparency in the production of household sanitizers, items present in practically all Brazilian homes. Anvisa’s decision this Wednesday will have a direct impact on consumer confidence in one of the most traditional brands in the cleaning sector in the country.

And you, what do you think about this situation? Have you already checked the batches you have at home to see if they came from the Amparo factory? Do you intend to follow Anvisa’s guidance and suspend use until the case is judged? Leave your comment, share your opinion, and tag someone who needs to be aware of this list.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

The United Kingdom removed approximately 1.8 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and is depositing it all on 6 kilometers of beaches in Norfolk, in a mega-operation to curb erosion, protect coastal villages, and shield a vital gas terminal against the encroaching Atlantic.
