National Enzyme Recalls DigestBasicK Capsules Due to Chloramphenicol Contamination

National Enzyme Co is recalling specific lots of DigestBasicK capsules because they may contain chloramphenicol above 0.3 ppb.

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, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, and the hazard is a potential contamination level rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
