Good Herbs Flower Essence Chicory Recalled for GMP Violations

Good Herbs, Inc. is recalling Flower Essence Chicory because it was not manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically involves a situation that may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The source text does not report any specific illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is a procedural GMP violation rather than a confirmed contamination event, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for low-risk or precautionary issues.
