National Enzyme Recalls Bulk Dige Capsules Due to Chloramphenicol

National Enzyme Co is recalling bulk Dige capsules because they may contain chloramphenicol levels exceeding 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, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a chemical contamination (chloramphenicol) rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect, fitting the Moderate criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls.
