Nutricia Recalls Functional Formularies Nourish Meal Replacement Over Vitamin A

Nutricia North America has voluntarily recalled thousands of cases of Functional Formularies Nourish Organic Whole Foods Meal Replacement Peptide Formula in Berry Medley flavor after testing revealed the product is subpotent for Vitamin A. The recall was initiated after the firm discovered a laboratory testing error that misrepresented the actual vitamin content of the product.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers ‘functional formularies NOURISH ORGANIC WHOLE FOODS MEAL REPLACEMENT PEPTIDE FORMULA BERRY MEDLEY COMPLETE PLANT BASED NUTRITION’, sold in 12 OZ (341g) pouches.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall was issued because the product is subpotent for Vitamin A. According to the recalling firm, the testing laboratory used an incorrect method when analyzing Vitamin A levels, which produced results showing a higher concentration of the vitamin than what is actually present in the product. This means consumers relying on the labeled Vitamin A content may not be receiving the nutrition they expect. The recall has been classified as a Class II recall, meaning use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences, though the probability of serious adverse effects is remote.
