What Products Are Being Recalled?
The recalled product is ‘Ocular Plus with Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Omega 3-6-9,’ a dietary supplement sold in bottles of 200 capsules with a serving size of 4 capsules. The product carries UPC PHF-C023 and was distributed by L.A. Farmacia Natural of Burbank, California.

This recall has been designated a Class II event, indicating the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects.
Why Was This Recall Issued?
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that Ocular Plus contains Yellow #5, also known as tartrazine, which was not declared on the product packaging. Undeclared color additives pose a risk to consumers who have sensitivities or allergic reactions to specific dyes, since they have no way of knowing the ingredient is present. Federal labeling regulations require all color additives to be disclosed so that consumers can make informed decisions and avoid ingredients that may trigger adverse reactions.
Who Is Affected?
According to the recalling firm, the product was distributed to two local direct accounts, both of which are local retail stores selling various vitamins and health products. Consumers who purchased Ocular Plus with Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Omega 3-6-9 from these retail locations, particularly those with known sensitivity to Yellow #5 or other synthetic dyes, may be affected by this recall. The recall is currently ongoing, and no injuries have been detailed in the available recall information.
