Nutricia Recalls Liquid Hope Berry Medley Formula for Low Vitamin A Levels

Nutricia North America has voluntarily recalled specific lots of functional formularies LIQUID HOPE ORGANIC WHOLE FOODS MEAL REPLACEMENT PEPTIDE FORMULA BERRY MEDLEY after determining the product is subpotent in Vitamin A. The recall affects thousands of cases distributed across dozens of U.S. states and was classified as a Class II event by the FDA.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers functional formularies LIQUID HOPE ORGANIC WHOLE FOODS MEAL REPLACEMENT PEPTIDE FORMULA in the BERRY MEDLEY flavor, packaged in 12 OZ (341g) pouches. The product was sold in two configurations: a 12-count package (UPC 8 57858 00450 2) and a 24-count case (UPC 8 57858 00453 3). Affected units include 24-count cases with ‘BEST IF USED BY’ dates up to and including March 15, 2028, and 12-count packages with ‘BEST IF USED BY’ dates up to and including October 7, 2027. In total, 1,363 cases of the 12-count packaging and 16,298 cases of the 24-count packaging are included in the recall.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall was initiated after the firm discovered that the laboratory testing its Vitamin A content used an incorrect testing method. This error caused the lab results to show a higher concentration of Vitamin A than what is actually present in the product, meaning the formula is subpotent, or lower in Vitamin A, than labeled. Liquid Hope is often used as a sole source of nutrition for individuals who rely on tube feeding, making accurate vitamin content especially important for consumers dependent on the product.

Who Is Affected?

The recalled product was shipped nationwide, reaching consumers and healthcare facilities in Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Washington D.C., Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and additional states. Individuals who purchased or were provided this product as a meal replacement, particularly those relying on it as a primary nutrition source, may be affected.

What Should You Do?

Consumers, caregivers, and healthcare providers who have BERRY MEDLEY flavored Liquid Hope pouches matching the affected ‘BEST IF USED BY’ date ranges should check their supply against the recall details. Because the product is subpotent rather than contaminated, it does not pose an immediate safety hazard, but individuals depending on it for full nutritional support should consult their healthcare provider regarding Vitamin A intake and consider alternative or supplemental sources if needed. Consumers with questions should contact Nutricia North America directly for further guidance on affected lots and next steps.
