Iowa Select Herbs Fennel Seed Recalled for Misbranding and Adulteration
Iowa Select Herbs LLC is recalling Fennel Seed under a consent decree because the product is misbranded, an unapproved new drug, and an adulterated dietary supplement.
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 classified this as an FDA Class III recall, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The recall is driven by regulatory violations (misbranding/adulteration) rather than reported acute physical harm or high-risk pathogens.
