Mellish Island Corp — Class II: Mellish Island Super Skin; Dietary Supplement; 60 Capsules, 2 per day; Distributed by Mel
Mellish Island Corp has initiated a Class II recall for its 'Super Skin' dietary supplement because the product label failed to declare the source of marine collagen, which was identified as fish.
This affects Mellish Island Corp, dietary supplement manufacturers utilizing marine-derived ingredients, and regulatory/QA teams responsible for allergen labeling compliance.
The failure to declare a fish-derived ingredient constitutes a significant labeling omission, as fish is a major allergen. A Class II designation suggests that while the health hazard is not immediate or life-threatening, the product is non-compliant and poses a potential risk to sensitive populations, necessitating formal market withdrawal or relabeling.
Verify that all raw material sources, particularly those derived from major allergens like fish, are explicitly declared on finished product labels. Conduct a label audit against bill of materials to ensure marine-derived ingredients specify the species or source as required by allergen labeling regulations.
Class II. Reason: Firm's finished product label does not declare the source of marine collagen which was determined to be fish..
