Vita Warehouse Corp. has voluntarily recalled three popular vitamin B12 gummy products due to potential undeclared peanut contamination, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced this week. Newsweek reached out to Vita Warehouse Corp. via email on Saturday for comment. Why It Matters Individuals who are allergic to peanuts have immune systems that react to peanuts, with symptoms that might include skin reactions, itching or tingling in the mouth or throat, digestive problems such as diarrhea, runny nose, tightening of the throat and shortness of breath. In severe cases, people with food allergies may go into anaphylaxis—and peanuts are the most common cause of anaphylactic allergic reactions. Anaphylaxis may involve difficulty breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue and throat, a drop in blood pressure, a rapid pulse, dizziness, lightheadedness or a loss of consciousness.

Statement: "This voluntary recall was initiated out of an abundance of caution to ensure consumer safety and trust. We are committed to maintaining the highest product safety and quality standards." In an email to Newsweek in January, the FDA said: "Most recalls in the U.S. are carried out voluntarily by the product manufacturer and when a company issues a public warning, typically via news release, to inform the public of a voluntary product recall, the FDA shares that release on our website as a public service. "The FDA's role during a voluntary, firm-initiated, recall is to review the recall strategy, evaluate the health hazard presented by the product, monitor the recall, and as appropriate alert the public and other companies in the supply chain about the recall," the FDA continued. It added: "The FDA provides public access to information on recalls by posting a listing of recalls according to their classification in the FDA Enforcement Report, including the specific action taken by the recalling company. The FDA Enforcement Report is designed to provide a public listing of products in the marketplace that are being recalled."
