It's that time again - restocking the shelves at the local store with all the essentials. Among the usual suspects of multivitamins and over the counter medications, there's been a bit of a stir surrounding the gummy variety. It seems that some vitamin gummies have been recalled across the US due to a concerning issue - the possibility of containing an undeclared allergen, peanuts.
The culprit behind this recall is none other than Vita Warehouse Corp, a trusted vitamin brand. Specifically, a lot of their Welby brand Vitamin B12 Energy Support gummy product 1000 mcg gummies, Berkely Jensen Vitamin B12 1000 mcg Gummies, and VitaGlobe Vitamin B12 Extra Strength Gummies have been flagged for potential peanut contamination. According to an advisory published by the US Food and Drug Administration on Friday, those with peanut allergies or severe sensitivity are at risk of experiencing serious or even life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.
Upon further inspection, it was discovered that the Webly Vitamin B12 bottles contained 150 gummies, while the Berkley Jensen vitamins came with 250 gummies. Both were packaged in clear bottles with a white cap and colorful labels. The expiration date for these products is October 2026, and they can be identified by the UPC code 4099100290868 and the lot number 248046601 printed at the bottom. The VitaGlobe vitamins, on the other hand, came with 60 gummies in a similar clear bottle with a white cap and green, red, and white labels. They share the same expiration date as the other two brands, but can be identified by the UPC code 850005214670 and the lot number 248046601.
If you happen to have purchased any of these recalled products, don't panic. So far, there haven't been any reported cases of allergic reactions or illnesses. However, it's always better to err on the side of caution. If you do experience any adverse reactions, seek medical attention immediately. For those who have a peanut allergy, it's recommended to either dispose of the vitamins or return them to the store for a full refund.
In light of this situation, the FDA emphasizes that Vita Warehouse Corp is committed to upholding the highest standards of product safety and quality. This recall comes on the heels of another recent incident involving Aldi's Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream. Due to an undeclared allergen, milk, these tasty treats were also recalled as they could potentially cause a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. As always, it's crucial to stay informed and vigilant when it comes to our health and wellbeing.
