Supplement Recall List 2026: Every FDA Recall, Updated Daily

By Erin Rose · Published September 21, 2026 · FDA data as of September 21, 2026 · Open data (JSON) · Methodology

Not medical advice. Every row below is an FDA enforcement report; we reproduce FDA’s reason text and classification as published and add a plain-language category. If you have a recalled product, the section on what to do is practical, not clinical.

The 5 most recent supplement recalls

Newest enforcement report first. “Reported” is the date FDA posted the record in its weekly enforcement report, which can run weeks after the firm started the recall; the event page or openFDA record carries both dates and the lot numbers.

Every FDA dietary supplement recall since 2023

Source data194 enforcement-report records grouped into 89 recall events, report dates 2023-01-11 to 2026-09-02, pulled from the openFDA food/enforcement endpoint on September 21, 2026. By year: 2023: 84 · 2024: 19 · 2025: 60 · 2026: 31 records. By category: contamination (microbial, heavy metal, foreign matter) 87, labeling or potency 55, undeclared allergen 27, hidden drug or prohibited ingredient 19, other 6. Status: 25 events ongoing, 61 terminated.

Click a column heading to sort; use the filter to show one class or category. Rows are events, so a firm that recalled nine tinctures in one action is one row with “+8 more”, and the 35 events whose product names an ingredient we cover carry a link to that guide. The 12 most significant events (Class I since January 1, 2024, plus Class II with a covered ingredient, capped at 12) have their own page; every other row links to its openFDA record.

Reason text is FDA’s, verbatim, including its abbreviations and capitalisation. The category column is ours, assigned by keyword from that text (method below), and the ingredient column is a name match against the product description; both are aids to sorting, not FDA classifications.

What each recall class means

FDA assigns every recall one of three classes, defined in 21 CFR 7.3(m). These are FDA’s definitions, quoted; the class is a statement about the probability and severity of harm from the violative product, not about how many bottles are involved or how the recall is run.

Class I

“A situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.” In the supplement records on this page, Class I is what FDA assigns to hidden prescription drugs (sildenafil in “male enhancement” packets, phenibut and DMAA in a “shot”), to toxic plant substitution (yellow oleander sold as tejocote root or nuez de la India), to Salmonella in a botanical powder, and to an undeclared major allergen such as peanut in a gummy. 24 of the events since January 1, 2024 were Class I.

Class II

“A situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.” This is the largest class in the list (123 of 194 records): foreign material in capsules, yeast or mold in a liquid, a colour additive not on the label, an allergen the label hints at but does not declare, and misbranding for drug claims.

Class III

“A situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.” Sub-potent vitamins, a label that declares the wrong folate amount, an ingredient listed under a name FDA does not accept, a product that failed a stability specification. 37 records here are Class III.

Two other fields matter when reading a row. Status is FDA’s: “Ongoing” while the firm is still retrieving product, “Completed” when the firm reports it has done what it planned, and “Terminated” when FDA has decided that all reasonable efforts have been made and the product no longer poses a risk. Voluntary: Firm initiated is the other: 89 of the 89 events on this list are marked voluntary, 0 FDA-mandated (FDA gained mandatory food-recall authority under the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act). A terminated recall is still worth knowing about if you bought the product a year ago: the lot on your shelf does not expire with the recall.

What to do if you have a recalled supplement

1. Stop taking it. For a Class I recall this is the whole point of the notice. For Class II and III the harm is less likely, but the recall exists because the product is not what its label says, and there is no benefit to finishing the bottle.
2. Check the lot, not just the name. Open the event page or openFDA record and compare the “code info” (lot numbers, UPCs, expiration dates) with the bottom or side of your container. Most recalls cover specific lots; a match means your bottle is in scope, and no match means it is not, even if the product name is identical.
3. Keep the container. The recalling firm’s notice (linked from FDA’s recalls page when the firm issued a press release) says how to get a refund, and usually asks for the lot number or a photo. Do not decant capsules into another bottle or hand them on.
4. If you had symptoms, tell someone who can act. Your doctor or pharmacist first, particularly for a hidden-drug recall, where the undeclared ingredient can interact with a prescription you already take. Then report it to FDA through MedWatch (online form or 1-800-FDA-1088); consumer reports are what gets a second product from the same manufacturer tested.
5. Check the rest of the line. A hidden drug or a Salmonella-positive raw material seldom stops at one SKU. Search the firm name in the table above; the same firm often appears in more than one row, and a contamination event frequently expands to other products a week or two later.

Nothing here replaces the FDA notice or your own clinician. What this page adds is the sortable list and the lot detail in one place, so that “was mine recalled?” is a one-minute check rather than a search through weekly PDFs.

How recalls reach this page

Method: our fetch script queries the openFDA food/enforcement endpoint for records whose product description contains “dietary supplement”, and a second time for Food-type records mentioning supplement, vitamin or capsules; the two result sets are merged on recall number and a keep-filter drops the conventional foods the second query also matches (fortified milk, juices, bakery). Records sharing an FDA event id are grouped into one event. The category is assigned by keyword from FDA’s reason text in a fixed order: hidden drug or prohibited ingredient, then contamination, then allergen, then labeling or potency; anything unmatched is “other”. Ingredient tags are exact-name matches against the product description with excipients (magnesium stearate, rice flour) removed first. Last fetch: September 21, 2026; 194 records.

The feed is refreshed by a daily watcher that also scans PubMed and Bing News for supplement safety news and flags new Class I recalls for a page within 72 hours. Enforcement reports are FDA’s weekly, post-hoc record, so a recall announced by press release on a Monday may not carry an enforcement record until the following week; when a recall is in the news but not yet here, FDA’s own Recalls, Market Withdrawals & Safety Alerts page is the earlier source. Conversely, many enforcement records never had a press release at all, which is why this list is longer than the news would suggest.

What the list cannot tell you: it is not a measure of which brands are safe. A brand with a recall on this page found and reported a problem; a brand with none may never have tested. It also excludes FDA’s tainted products warnings (products found to contain hidden drugs but never formally recalled), which are a separate FDA database, and warning letters, which are enforcement correspondence rather than recalls. For the certification side of the question, which products are in an independent testing registry, see the registry audit and the per-ingredient third-party-tested pages; for the adverse-event side, the FAERS safety scoring page.

The full dataset behind this page is at /recalls.json (CC BY 4.0): every record with every FDA field, our category and ingredient tags, and the event grouping, so it can be re-sorted or joined without scraping this page.
