February 17, 2017 By The FDA Leave a Comment

Licata Enterprieses of Huntington Beach, California is recalling its The Supreme One / Theravits
100 multiple vitamin (all lots) due to the discovery of a confusing labeling issue which could
cause cause individuals allergic to fish oils to ingest the product in error. The product contains
Vitamin A (partially from fish liver oil) which is clearly stated in the Supplement Facts portion
of the label; however, another part of some labels also incorrectly state “… contains no common
allergens” leading some with fish allergies to believe the product is safe for them. Further, the
separate Allergen statement contains fish is missing.
