What You Need To Know
Despite a January 2024 nationwide recall on tianeptine products from Neptune Resources, LLC, NJ DOH has continued to receive reports of tianeptine involved poisonings and has identified tianeptine-involved overdose deaths in the past year. Tianeptine is a substance with opioid-like effects that has been falsely marketed and sold across the state in gas stations, online as a dietary supplement, and has caused various life-threatening health consequences in users.
At this time, The New Jersey Department of Health’s Public Health and Food Protection Program (PHFPP) is requesting the assistance of all local health departments (LHDs) to investigate fuel station convenience stores and any other retail food establishments where the recalled Neptune Fix products may be located. If found, the products should be voluntarily destroyed or embargoed, if refusals are encountered.
