Extremely popular vitamin supplements sold nationwide recalled due to 'life-threatening' risk
Popular B12 vitamins sold at ALDI have been recalled due to 'undeclared' peanuts. New York-based Vita Warehouse Corp is voluntarily recalling one lot of Welby brand Vitamin B12 Energy Support gummy product 1000 mcg 140 gummies, Berkely Jensen Vitamin B12 1000 mcg 250 Gummies and VitaGlobe Vitamin B12 Extra Strength 60 Gummies, the FDA announced Monday. The recall was initiated after ALDI, which operates 2,500 stores in the US, conducted routine testing to verify the accuracy of its 'allergen-free' labels. One of the test results indicated the potential presence of a peanut allergen. Internal testing by the manufacturer verified the absence of peanuts, but the company still issued a recall out of an abundance of caution. It's unclear how many bottles of vitamin B12 supplements were included in the recalled lot. The products were sold at ALDI and BJ's stores nationwide, as well as Amazon. The FDA said in its announcement: 'People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the potential risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.' No illnesses have been reported, and the FDA has not yet assigned a classification to the recall. However, the agency could label it 'Class I' due to the life-threatening risk. A Class I recall describes 'a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death,' according to the FDA. Peanut allergens are one of the leading triggers of anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that causes the immune system to release a flood of antibodies to ward off the foreign invader. This causes skin reactions like hives, low blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, and the airways to close in and restrict breathing. Just over 6million Americans are allergic to peanuts, making up two percent of the population, most of whom are children. Experts estimate 150 to 200 Americans die from food allergies every year due to anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that causes the immune system to release a flood of antibodies to ward off the foreign invader. About one in four Americans report taking vitamins with B12, which plays a crucial role in forming red blood cells, which help deliver oxygen throughout the body. It is also thought to support brain and DNA health.

The possibly fatal reason gummies sold at Aldi, BJ's and on Amazon got recalled
Conflicting test results indicating a potential allergy danger caused the manufacturer of vitamin B12 gummies to recall them nationwide. Vita Warehouse made Welby Vitamin B12 Energy Support gummies 1000 mcg for Aldi, Berkely Jensen Vitamin B12 1000 mcg gummies for BJ's Warehouse Club, and sells VitaGlobe Vitamin B12 Extra Strength gummies through its website. The gummies should be peanut free, as indicated on the label's ingredient listing. But, Vita Warehouse said in its FDA-posted recall notice, Aldi's routine testing for allergen listing accuracy 'indicated a potential presence of a peanut allergen. Although internal testing conducted by Vita Warehouse Corp. has verified the absence of peanuts in the product, the recall is being initiated out of an abundance of caution to ensure consumer safety and trust.' Because, if Aldi's testing is correct and someone with a peanut allergy gulps the gummies, Vita Warehouse's notice says, there's a 'risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction.' Each of the bottles has lot No. 248046601 with an October 2026 expiration date of October 2026. If you have them and they might be taken by someone who has a peanut allergy, return them to your seller for a refund. If you have questions, call Vita Warehouse at 855-214-0100, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Eastern time.
