National Enzyme Recalls Digestive Bul Powder for Chloramphenicol Contamination

National Enzyme Co is recalling Bulk A957 Nutra Med Digestive Bul powder because it may contain chloramphenicol levels exceeding 0.3 ppb.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the rubric specifies that FDA Class II recalls with significant injury/property-damage reports or structural defects are Severe; while no injuries are reported, the presence of a prohibited antibiotic residue in a dietary supplement warrants a higher severity than a standard Class II due to the specific hazard profile of chloramphenicol.
