Andorra’s Ministry of Health has issued a sanitary alert after the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS) ordered the withdrawal of a cosmetic batch included in the 2025 Yepoda advent calendar. The affected product is a body butter sold as The Cocoa Cloud, manufactured by Cosmetrade S.L., which appears in the calendar’s day‑8 compartment.
Laboratory testing on batch SR335 detected growth of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. According to AEMPS, the contamination is attributable to a loss of efficacy of the preservative used in the product, prompting the agency to require removal of the lot from the market.
The Ministry of Health advises anyone who possesses a unit from batch SR335 to stop using it immediately and return it to the point of purchase. Consumers with concerns or questions are urged to contact their retailer or the relevant health authorities for further guidance.
