Defense Nutrition Warrior Whey Powder Recalled for Undeclared Soy Lecithin

Defense Nutrition is recalling Warrior Whey Natural Powder because it contains undeclared soy lecithin, a common allergen.

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 III, which the rubric defines as typically scoring 1 or 2 because it is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard involves undeclared soy lecithin, a labeling error rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
