Just received this package from Atlantic Medical Supply, and I noticed that two of my 500 mL bags of Dextrose 5% had some droplets between the bag and the outer seal (see picture).
Would this bag be safe to use, or since there are a few droplets between the two layers, would it be considered contaminated? Never noticed this before. Thank you!

It's most likely condensation, especially if it's if it's a little cooler in you area when you received it. If the outer bag is intact, nothing to worry about

Thanks all!
Spoke with Atlantic Medical Supply, and they confirmed everything you've said. It's condensation, and the manufacturer said that you may see as much as one ounce between the layers.
