Sundial Herbal Products Recalls Jamaican Bissy Powder for Unapproved Drug Claims

Sundial Herbal Products is recalling Jamaican Bissy Powder because the product is misbranded and deemed an unapproved drug based on its labeling claims.

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 involves a situation that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The primary hazard is regulatory (misbranding/unapproved drug) rather than a specific physical or chemical contamination with reported injuries.

Plain-English summary

Sundial Herbal Products is recalling Jamaican Bissy Powder under a permanent injunction order. The recall is required because the product is misbranded and deemed an unapproved drug based on the claims made on its labeling.

The product description includes claims that the powder regulates the heart, removes water from around the heart, lessens the desire for drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol, and relieves fatigue, depression, headaches, diarrhea, and dysentery. The label also states it is used as an antibiotic and antidote. These claims cause the product to be considered a drug, which it is not approved to be.

The recall covers products manufactured, processed, packed, held, and/or distributed between January 1, 2014, and May 27, 2020. The distribution pattern is listed as NY. Consumers should stop using the product and follow instructions from the recalling firm or the FDA regarding disposal or return.
