Vitamin gummies recalled due to undeclared peanut allergen: Which products are affected?
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has initiated an urgent recall of vitamin B12 sold by multiple brands
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has initiated an urgent recall of vitamin B12 sold by multiple brands. The recall was notified via a statement issued on FDA’s official website on June 12 and cited an undeclared peanut allergen found in the product as part of routine testing by Aldi as reason for the same.
“Vita Warehouse Corp. is voluntarily recalling one lot of Welby® brand Vitamin B12 Energy Support gummy product 1000 mcg 140 gummies, Berkely Jensen® Vitamin B12 1000 mcg 250 Gummies, and VitaGlobe™ Vitamin B12 Extra Strength 60 Gummies due to the potential presence of undeclared peanuts. People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the potential risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products. These products were distributed at ALDI and BJ’s retail stores nationwide and online,” the statement read.
