There is an active recall on protein powder distributed and sold in 37 states, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is due to mislabeling, resulting in an undeclared allergen.
The protein powder being recalled is unflavored, 225-gram bags of Genepro Whey 4th Generation Plasma Treated Protein. The packages contain a UPC of “850053365126,” lot code “250214” and best-by date of February 13, 2027. The affected protein powder was sold in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington and Wyoming.
While the affected protein powder contains language like “allergen free,” “lactose free” and “dairy free” on its packaging, the product may contain undeclared milk. This has caused a Class I recall, meaning that consuming this supplement powder could result in “serious adverse health consequences or death” for those with a milk allergy. Dispose of or return any recalled protein powder if you have this product on hand.
