Nature's Sunshine Products is recalling specific lots of Love & Peas Protein Rich Meal Replacement because an ingredient may contain traces of milk, despite the product being labeled vegan and dairy-free.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class I
Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "The firm was notified by its ingredient supplier of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) that the ingredient potentially contained traces of milk. This affected two of the firm's products that are marketed and sold as vegan and dairy-free."
