NOW Foods is voluntarily recalling selected lots of its Brewer’s Yeast Tablets (Product Code 2410 and 2412) due to the presence of an undeclared milk allergen. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products and should stop taking them immediately.

The recall covers Brewer’s Yeast tablets, 10 grain, 650 mg, in bottle sizes of 200 tablets (product code 2410) and 500 tablets (product code 2412). The products were distributed throughout the United States and other countries. The affected U.S. lot numbers for product 2410 are 1334119, 1354098, and 1362375. The affected U.S. lot numbers for product 2412 are 1347607, 1334773, and 1358774. These lots were produced between March and June 2011. The product code is located on the label and the lot number is located on the bottom of the package. All other NOW Foods products, including Brewer’s Yeast product code 2420, are not affected and are not involved in this recall.

The presence of a milk allergen in the two affected products was discovered during an FDA inspection of NOW’s supplier of Brewer’s Yeast tablets and confirmed through allergen testing by NOW. No illnesses or adverse events have been reported to date.
