USN B4 Bomb Extreme Pre-Workout Recalled for Staphylococcus Aureus Concern
Armada Nutrition is recalling USN B4 Bomb Extreme Pre-Workout due to a raw material testing failure for Staphylococcus aureus that was not fully investigated.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
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) where the hazard is theoretical due to a failed investigation, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Armada Nutrition is voluntarily recalling 3,997 units of USN B4 Bomb Extreme Pre-Workout, Lime Lemonade Flavour, 300g. The product is identified by lot number IM453078 and has an expiration date of 08/2018.
The recall was initiated because a raw material used in the product initially failed testing for Staphylococcus aureus. Although a retest produced passing results, the company did not properly conduct an out-of-specification investigation. This procedural gap leaves a concern that the finished product could contain the bacterium.
The affected units were distributed in Colorado, New Jersey, England, and South Africa. Consumers who possess this product should stop using it and contact the recalling firm for instructions on disposal or return.
