XYMOGEN of Florida is recalling artriphen, a dietary supplement used for joint support, because it contains traces of soy and milk. Those ingredients are two of the major food allergens. No allergic reactions have been reported to date.
Brian Blackburn, XYMOGEN’s president and CDEO, said, “in the past, our contract manufacturing partners applied labels to our products, thus the weight of responsibility on what allergens were or were not cleared rested with them as the party handling the raw materials.” The company started their own manufacturing, and discovered the allergens were not included in the product’s labeling while preparing to buy artriphen in bulk and label and package it at its own facility.
FDA regulations require dietary supplement manufacturers to disclose any of the eight identified allergens in labeling and marketing of products. The product is available in quantities of either 90 or 180 capsules. If you purchased this product and are allergic to soy and/or milk, return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
