Plain-English summary

Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. is recalling 2,480 bags of Love & Peas Protein Rich Meal Replacement, Sugar Free, 1 LB 9 OZ (713 G). The recall involves three specific lots: 001223066 (Exp. 26-JAN-2023), 001222934 (Exp. 24-JAN-2023), and 001223890 (Exp. 26-JAN-2023). The product was distributed nationwide and in Canada.

The recall was initiated after an ingredient supplier notified the firm that the Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) ingredient used in the product potentially contained traces of milk. This is significant because the product is marketed and sold as vegan and dairy-free. The presence of milk traces poses a risk to consumers with milk allergies or those strictly adhering to vegan or dairy-free diets.
