ULTIMATE NUTRITION AMINO GOLD CAPSULES SUPER WHEY FORMULA Dietary Supplement, 1000 mg, 250 tablets; UPC: 0 99071 00140 5

Ultimate Nutrition, INC. recalled ULTIMATE NUTRITION AMINO GOLD CAPSULES SUPER WHEY FORMULA Dietary Supplement, 1000 mg, 250 tablets; UPC: 0 99071 00140 5 in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on May 20, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Product contains undeclared milk." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

Distribution was broad: the FDA record describes it as "The recalled Amino Gold was distributed nationwide through distributors, stores, and web sites. The product was sold direct to distributors in CA, NC, ID, PA, CT," which places this among the wider-reach recalls on the site. Consumers across the affected area should check product on hand. The recalling firm is based in Farmington, CT. The recall covers less than 1000 of all/lots products involved in this recall of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Sep 21, 2016), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
