Dietary supplements are one of the most widely consumed products in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health, making it of the utmost importance the products are safe enough to consume. A Los Angeles pharmaceutical manufacturer broke its promise to deliver a safe product, however, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now ordered a recall on all its supplements.
The private label and contract manufacturer Health One Pharmaceuticals was issued awarning letter in 2012 listing violations, but when the FDA performed a follow-up inspection, Health One Pharmaceuticals failed to correct all of the problems. All of its products that were manufactured, prepared packed, labeled, held, or distributed between Sept. 1, 2011, and Jan. 15, 2015 will be destroyed. It’s too risky and irresponsible for the FDA to continue to allow consumers to trust a product with unverified ingredients.
“When a company puts consumers at risk, the FDA will take action to protect public health,” said Melinda K. Plaisier, FDA associate commissioner for regulatory affairs, in a press release. “Our goal is to ensure that consumers have access to dietary supplements that meet federal standards for safety and quality.”
