Issue
Health First Network is recalling one lot of Health First
Ashwagandha Supreme bottles containing 120 capsules because the
label shows a "Dairy Free" icon, but the product came into contact
with dairy during production. This may pose serious health risks to
people with a severe dairy allergy.
Ashwagandha is an herb traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine
to help reduce stress and improve general health, including energy
levels.
People with allergies to dairy (e.g., milk) can experience a
range of mild to severe symptoms when exposed to even small amounts
of milk proteins. These symptoms may include raised and itchy bumps
on the skin, upset stomach, and breathing difficulties that can be
life threatening.
Health Canada is monitoring the
company's recall and its implementation of corrective and
preventative actions to prevent this issue from reoccurring. The
Department will inform the public if any new health risks are
identified.
What you should do
- Do not use this product if you have a dairy allergy.
- Consult a health care professional if you have used this
product and have health concerns.
- If you have questions about this recall, contact Health First
Network by calling toll-free at 1-888-333-6353 (and
press 3), or by email at
info@healthfirst.ca.
- Report any health product-related side effects or complaints to
Health Canada.
