Kirkman 5-MTHF Supplements Recalled for Incorrect Folic Acid Labeling

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Kirkman is recalling approximately 366 bottles of its 5-MTHF Methyltetrahydrofolate 1mg dietary supplement (120-count bottles). The recall was initiated because the Supplement Facts label incorrectly lists the folic acid content as 5,000 mcg when the product actually contains 1,000 mcg per serving. While the front label is correct, the Supplement Facts panel contains this error. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date.

Risk

The incorrect labeling may cause consumers to miscalculate their daily folic acid intake. This error results in the Supplement Facts panel declaring five times the actual amount of folic acid present in the product.
