What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling (gluten) on a common allergen, which fits the rubric criteria for a High severity score (3).
Plain-English summary
Designer Protein LLC is voluntarily recalling specific lots of Designer Whey French Vanilla protein powder. The affected products include 2lb and 3lb containers with lot codes 201306 and 201305. A total of 6,366 units were distributed nationwide in the US and internationally to the Philippines and Brazil.
The recall was initiated after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) conducted lab tests that confirmed the products contain gluten. This contradicts the product labeling, which claims the items are gluten-free.
