Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

NOW Health Group Inc. has recalled approximately 129,881 units of NOW, Lifesource Vitamins, and MMA Nutrition brand supplements, including Royal Jelly, Ginseng & Royal Jelly, and Bee Pollen. The products were sold in retail stores and through online platforms across 48 U.S. states and several international countries. The recall was issued because these supplements may contain Metronidazole, a prescription antibiotic that was not listed on the product labels. Consumers who have these items should stop using them immediately and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.

Risk

The products may contain Metronidazole, an unintended prescription drug contaminant. Consuming an undeclared antibiotic can pose health risks or lead to adverse reactions in individuals who are sensitive to the medication.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the label of your supplement bottle to see if it is NOW Royal Jelly 1500mg (60 capsules), NOW Ginseng & Royal Jelly (90 capsules), Lifesource Vitamins 1500mg (60 capsules), MMA Nutrition Ginselin (90 capsules), or NOW Bee Pollen 500mg (100 capsules).
