Overview of the Recall
On March 27, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall for specific lots of Blueroot Health-branded Vital Nutrients Aller-C dietary supplements. The recall was prompted by the discovery of undeclared allergens—egg, hazelnut, and soy—potentially posing serious or life-threatening risks to individuals with allergies to these ingredients.
Details of the Affected Products
The recall affects two lots of Vital Nutrients Aller-C, which were distributed nationwide through various online retailers, including Blueroot Health's own website. The specific products involved are:
- 100-count bottles with lot numbers 25E04-A and 25E04-B, UPCs 693465524114 and 693465000083.
- 200-count bottles with lot number 25E04-Bm, UPCs 693465524213 and 693465000090.
All recalled bottles have an expiration date of May 2027, which can be found on the side of the containers.
Health Risks Associated with Undeclared Allergens
The FDA has highlighted that the presence of undeclared egg, hazelnut, and soy can trigger severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Symptoms may include hives, swelling, respiratory distress, and in extreme cases, anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical attention. These allergens are classified among the FDA's nine major allergens, which also include wheat, fish, milk, sesame, peanuts, and crustacean shellfish. The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 mandates clear labeling of these allergens to safeguard public health.
Company and FDA Response
Blueroot Health, based in Connecticut, notified the FDA after identifying the issue during routine internal testing. Both the company and the FDA have emphasized that the recall is a precautionary measure aimed at protecting consumers. As of the announcement, no illnesses or adverse reactions had been reported in connection with the recalled supplements.
Consumer Guidance
Consumers who have purchased the affected Vital Nutrients Aller-C supplements are advised to cease use immediately. Blueroot Health has instructed customers to return the recalled products for a replacement. For further inquiries regarding the recall, individuals can contact Blueroot Health’s customer service at (888) 328-9992 or via email at support@vitalnutrients.co.
Conclusion
The FDA's recall of Blueroot Health's Vital Nutrients Aller-C supplements underscores the importance of accurate labeling in food and dietary products. The proactive measures taken by both the company and the FDA aim to mitigate potential health risks associated with undeclared allergens.
