Blueroot Health has expanded a voluntary allergy alert involving one of its dietary supplements after discovering the potential presence of undeclared food allergens that could pose serious or “life-threatening” health risks to consumers, according to a notice published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Reason for the Recall
According to the FDA, the company is widening its recall of Vital Nutrients Aller‑C dietary supplements due to the possible presence of egg, hazelnut, and soy, which were not declared on the product label. Consumption of the affected supplements could lead to serious or potentially life‑threatening allergic reactions in individuals with sensitivities to those ingredients.
Recall Expanded Beyond Initial Lots
The expanded recall alert follows an earlier recall announced in late March that initially covered two specific lots of the Aller‑C supplement, labeled 25E04‑A and 25E04‑B. In its April 10 update, Blueroot Health said it has now extended the recall to include all products manufactured using lot 25E04.
Products and Distribution Details
The affected products are Vital Nutrients Aller‑C dietary supplements sold in white plastic bottles containing either 100 or 200 capsules. Impacted bottles list lot numbers 25E04, 25E04‑A, or 25E04‑B, along with an expiration date of May 2027 (05/27) printed on the label.
Blueroot Health said the impacted supplements were distributed nationwide through its website VitalNutrients.co, and other online retailers. According to the company, the affected lots were sold between September 2025 and March 2026.
How the Issue Was Discovered
The company reported that the presence of undeclared allergens was discovered during routine internal testing. After identifying the issue, Blueroot Health notified the FDA and voluntarily initiated the recall expansion.
Federal regulators note that undeclared allergens are among the most common reasons for food and supplement recalls, as even trace amounts can cause severe reactions in sensitive individuals.
No Illnesses Reported So Far
As of the latest FDA update, no illnesses or allergic reactions linked to the affected Aller‑C supplements have been reported.
However, the FDA and the company emphasized that consumers with egg, tree nut, or soy allergies should not take the risk of exposure.
Consumer Guidance
Consumers who have purchased the recalled product are advised to stop using it immediately and return it to Blueroot Health for a replacement. Customers with questions can contact the company’s customer service line at (888) 328‑9992 or email support@vitalnutrients.co, according to the FDA notice.
The FDA will continue to monitor the situation and will post updates if additional information becomes available.
