Earlier this month, the Food and Drug Administration announced that Multi-V Men vitamins made by MTN OPS were contaminated.

According to the FDA, the pills contain “undeclared soy flour” a potential danger to people with soy allergies.

Officials said that 7,546 bottles of the 60-capsule Multi-V Men products are involved.

The affected batch has the lot number #012324177 and an expiration date of March 2026.

No other products or batches are included in this recall.

The FDA posted the alert on its website on April 9.

It was classified as a Class II recall – meaning the product may cause temporary or medically reversible issues.

There’s also a remote chance of serious health consequences.

Soy is a common allergen that can trigger severe reactions in some people.

If ingested unknowingly, it may cause symptoms ranging from mild to potentially fatal.

MORE RECALLS

Recalls involving over-the-counter pills and multivitamins aren’t common, but they do happen.

Back in 2016, Nature Made pulled several of its vitamin products over concerns they might be contaminated with salmonella or staph.

Earlier this month, there was another recall that made the news. This time, it involved almost 2,000 pounds of Cabot Creamery butter. The reason for the recall was that tests showed the presence of coliform bacteria in the butter. Coliform bacteria are usually associated with animal waste.

That contaminated butter had been sold across major retailers, including Walmart, in seven states.

Health officials continue to urge shoppers to check labels and stay alert as more recalls surface nationwide.
