Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 a high-risk pathogen (Staphylococcus aureus) with a theoretical risk of harm because the investigation was not properly conducted, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Armada Nutrition is recalling 39,600 kg of bulk Myprotein, MYPRE Europe Base powder. The product is a raw material used for further processing in Europe. The recall involves lot IM459653 (Exp 08/2018) and lot IM470108 (Exp 10/2018). The product was distributed to locations in Colorado, New Jersey, England, and South Africa.

The recall was initiated because the raw material initially failed testing for Staphylococcus aureus. Although a retest produced passing results, the company did not properly conduct the required out-of-specification investigation. This procedural failure leaves a concern that the finished product could contain the bacterium.

No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with this product. Consumers who possess this bulk product should stop using it and contact the recalling firm for instructions on disposal or return.
