Iowa Select Herbs Recalls Alcohol-Free Cilantro Leaf for Misbranding

Iowa Select Herbs LLC is recalling alcohol-free cilantro leaf 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 typically associated with minor labeling errors or low-risk issues. The source text cites misbranding and adulteration but does not report any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
