Herbalife Recalls Peanut Butter Protein Bars Due to Fish Gelatin

Herbalife is recalling Peanut Butter Protein Bars because they may contain trace amounts of fish gelatin, an undeclared allergen.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which typically corresponds to a score of 1 or 2. A score of 2 is assigned because the hazard involves an undeclared allergen (fish), which poses a specific risk to sensitive individuals, rather than a purely cosmetic or documentation-only issue.
