Organiccs Collagen Supplement Recalled Due to Undeclared Shellfish

The supplement contains glucosamine sulfate derived from crab shells. Because shellfish isn't declared on the label, people with shellfish allergies could unknowingly consume an ingredient that could trigger an allergic reaction.

This is a labeling and allergen-safety issue. The recall does not, by itself, establish that collagen supplements generally are unsafe.

If you use this product:

• Check the full product name and lot number on the bottle.
• If your product matches the recalled lot, stop using it.
• Contact the place where you purchased it about returning the product.
• If you have a shellfish allergy and may have taken it, contact a healthcare professional for advice. Seek emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the throat.

The reported distribution included California, Oregon, Washington, Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Hawaii.

A supplement can be marketed as natural and still contain an ingredient that poses a serious risk to someone with an allergy.

Check the product name and lot number—not just the brand. If you have a shellfish allergy, an undeclared ingredient derived from crab shells is a risk worth taking seriously.
