Protein Supplement Recall: Mislabeled Allergen Content Poses Health Risk

Voluntary Recall Initiated for Allergen Mislabeling

Several protein supplement manufacturers have issued voluntary recalls after discovering that product labels failed to accurately declare common allergens, including milk, soy, and tree nuts. The mislabeling affects multiple batches distributed across retail and online channels over the past six months.

Consumers with allergies to the undeclared ingredients face potential risks ranging from mild reactions to severe anaphylaxis. The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall, indicating a reasonable probability that use of these products could cause serious adverse health consequences.

Affected Products and Consumer Actions

The recall includes whey protein isolates, plant-based protein powders, and ready-to-drink protein beverages from brands including:

• PowerFuel Protein Isolate (vanilla and chocolate flavors)
• VeganStrength Plant Protein (all varieties)
• MaxMuscle RTD Shakes (select lots)

Consumers who purchased these products should check batch numbers against the recall list and discontinue use immediately. Full refunds are available at point of purchase, and no receipt is required for return.

Importance of Label Verification

This incident highlights the critical importance of accurate supplement labeling. Before purchasing any supplement, consumers should verify product safety and label accuracy through independent testing resources.

The manufacturers have implemented enhanced quality control measures and are working with the FDA to prevent future labeling errors. No illnesses have been reported to date, but consumers experiencing adverse reactions should contact healthcare providers immediately.
