Naturo Aid Pharmaceutical Inc. is recalling Vita Aid SynerClear (Chocolate) powder because it may contain undeclared milk residue, which poses a hazard to consumers with milk allergies.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

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 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an allergen mislabeling recall involving a common allergen (milk) on an FDA Class II product. Allergen mislabeling for common allergens meets the High severity threshold under the rubric, even though no reported illnesses are stated in the source text.
