Armada Nutrition is recalling Performix Crea-Bead creatine supplements because a raw material initially failed testing for Staphylococcus aureus, raising concerns about potential contamination.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which corresponds to a Severe rating under the rubric, particularly given the potential for significant injury from Staphylococcus aureus contamination.

Plain-English summary

Armada Nutrition is voluntarily recalling 19,552 units of PERFORMIX(TM) CREA-BEAD, MULTI-PHASE CREATINE, BLUE RAZZ ICE, NET WT 11.1 OZ (315G). The product is distributed by Performix LLC and carries the UPC 8 11274 02204 5. The specific lot affected is IM442915, with an expiration date of 08/2018.

The recall was initiated because a raw material used in the production of the supplement initially failed testing for Staphylococcus aureus. Although a subsequent retest yielded passing results, the company determined that an out-of-specification investigation was not properly conducted. This procedural gap leaves a concern that the finished product could contain the bacterium.

The affected product was distributed in Colorado, New Jersey, England, and South Africa. Consumers who have purchased this specific lot of the supplement should stop using it and contact the distributor or manufacturer for further instructions.
