Iowa Select Herbs Recalls Astragalus Root for Misbranding and Adulteration

Iowa Select Herbs LLC is recalling Astragalus Root products because they are misbranded, unapproved new drugs, and adulterated dietary supplements.

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 agency classification is FDA Class III, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The recall is driven by regulatory violations (misbranding/adulteration) rather than reported acute physical injuries or high-risk pathogens.
