Muscle Meds Carnivor Beef Protein Isolate Recalled for Staphylococcus Aureus Concern

Armada Nutrition is recalling Muscle Meds Carnivor beef protein isolate due to concerns that the product may contain Staphylococcus aureus.

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 a high-risk pathogen (Staphylococcus aureus) where the hazard is a theoretical concern due to procedural errors, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Armada Nutrition is voluntarily recalling specific lots of Muscle Meds Performance Technologies Bioengineered Beef Protein Isolate Carnivor Dietary Supplement. The recall involves the Fruit Punch flavor in 2 lb (904.4g) and 4 lb (1808.8g) sizes. The affected lots are IM445587 and IM449808, both with an expiration date of 07/2019.

The recall was initiated because a raw material used in the production process initially failed testing for Staphylococcus aureus. Although a retest of the material yielded 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 recalled product was distributed in Colorado, New Jersey, England, and South Africa. Consumers who have purchased these specific lots should stop using the product and contact the manufacturer for instructions on disposal or return.
