Ypê filed an appeal against an Anvisa decision that suspended manufacturing and ordered the recall of products. The measure was automatically suspended until judgment by the agency's board.
On Thursday, May 7, 2026, Anvisa suspended manufacturing and ordered the recall of specific batches of Ypê detergents, liquid soaps and disinfectants. The decision followed an inspection at the Amparo factory in São Paulo that found failures in quality assurance and production processes, indicating a risk of microbiological contamination.
On Friday, May 8, Ypê announced it had appealed Resolution-RE No. 1,834/2026. Under Article 17 of RDC No. 266/2019, the appeal automatically suspended the effects of the measure until a new ruling by Anvisa's Collegiate Board, expected in the coming days.
Anvisa confirmed the temporary suspension but maintained its sanitary risk assessment and recommended that consumers avoid using the affected products. The agency said the company must handle recalls, exchanges or refunds through its customer service.
Supermarkets in São Paulo removed the items from shelves on Friday. Ypê stated that consumer safety is its top priority and that it remains in dialogue with the agency for a definitive solution.
