Aivia Whey Protein Recalled for Undeclared Milk

Agency Publication Date: August 9, 2022

Summary

Nature's Sunshine Products is recalling 6,663 bags of Aivia Whey Protein+ Power Herbs in Chocolate and Vanilla Bean flavors because the labels do not list milk as an allergen. While the ingredients list includes whey, the specific allergen "milk" is not declared on the packaging as required by law. This oversight could lead to serious allergic reactions in consumers with milk allergies or sensitivities. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.
