Nature's Way Men's Ultra Potency Tablets Recalled for Chloramphenicol

Schwabe North America is voluntarily recalling Nature's Way Alive Once Daily Men's Ultra Potency tablets because the raw material supplier reported the enzyme blend may contain the antibiotic chloramphenicol.

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 may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or fatalities, and the hazard is a potential contamination with an antibiotic rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
