'Amniotic fluid' eye drops aren't approved and could be harmful, the Food and Drug Administration warned.
People should not use eye drops marketed as if they contain amniotic fluid, the fluid that surrounds and cushions a developing fetus in the womb, the Food and Drug Administration has warned. The sale of these eye drops, none of which have been approved by the FDA, raises"potential significant safety concerns," the agency wrote in a statement issued April 10.
"As these products are not FDA-approved, the agency does not have information about their manufacture, and there are no assurances that the products are safe and effective for any disease or condition," the FDA notice reads. In early pregnancy, amniotic fluid contains a mix of fluids and proteins produced by the fetal tissue and pregnant person's body. In late pregnancy, the fluid contains mostly fetal urine and"lung secretions," according to the medical resource StatPearls .

U.S. food banks warn of strain as Republicans seek food aid cutsFood banks across the United States are straining to meet spiking demand as high food costs and shrinking federal benefits drive scores of Americans to depend on free groceries, just as Republicans seek to narrow access to food assistance. President Joe Biden, who this week criticized Republicans' proposals to further cut benefits in order to shrink the country's deficit, pledged last year to end hunger in the U.S. by 2030. Food banks in Atlanta, New Jersey, Ohio, California, and Washington State and national anti-hunger groups told Reuters that demand is rising because of inflation and the end of a temporary expansion of federal food assistance benefits that kept millions out of poverty during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
