BulkSupplements.com Recalls Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium for Undeclared Shellfish

Plain-English summary

Hard Eight Nutrition LLC is voluntarily recalling two lots of BulkSupplements.com Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium. The recall involves 100-gram, 250-gram, 500-gram, and 1-kilogram stand-up zipper pouch bags. The specific lots affected are 121D1214 (expiration date 12/13/18) and 121E0629 (expiration date 06/28/19).

The recall was initiated after an FDA inspection found that the product labels did not declare shellfish as an ingredient, although shellfish is properly declared on the company's website. Shellfish is a major food allergen, and the failure to list it on the physical label poses a risk to consumers with shellfish allergies.

Approximately 2,100 units were distributed worldwide through the company's website and Amazon. The product was also distributed to Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, the Isle of Man, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom. Consumers should check their inventory for these specific lot numbers and stop using the product if they have a shellfish allergy.
