Nutricia North America initiated a Class II recall for Liquid Hope Organic Whole Foods Meal Replacement Peptide Formula Berry Medley due to vitamin A subpotency. The issue originated from a testing laboratory utilizing an incorrect methodology, resulting in reported vitamin A concentrations higher than the actual levels present in the product.
Nutricia North America, medical food manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and professionals managing distributions of organic meal replacement peptide formulas.
This recall highlights a breakdown in laboratory oversight and data validation. For products marketed as meal replacements, subpotency of essential vitamins can pose a regulatory risk regarding nutritional labeling accuracy. The reliance on an incorrect testing method suggests that vendor management and the verification of analytical methods are critical points of failure that can lead to non-compliance even when testing is performed.
Review third-party or internal laboratory testing protocols to ensure validated methods are utilized for nutrient quantification. QA teams should verify that Certificate of Analysis (CoA) data aligns with actual product specifications and that laboratory methodologies are regularly audited for accuracy.
Class II. Reason: Subpotent for Vitamin A. The firm discovered that the testing laboratory used the wrong method when testing for Vitamin A. The test results gave a higher concentration of vitamin A than what is actually in the product..
