Vitamin gummies have been recalled across the US because they may contain an undeclared allergen – peanuts.
Vita Warehouse Corp is recalling a lot of its 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.
‘People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the potential risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products,’ states an advisory published by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday.
