AUDIENCE: Consumer, Health Professional
ISSUE: The nutraceutical company, Xymogen, (Orlando, FL) and FDA, are notifying consumers and health professionals of the recall of Atriphen, a product sold for the support of healthy joint function, because it contains the undeclared allergens, soy and milk.
