Middletown, Connecticut supplement maker Blueroot Health has yanked two lots of its Vital Nutrients Aller-C after routine internal testing turned up undeclared egg, hazelnut and soy that could trigger severe allergic reactions. The recall covers both 100-count and 200-count white plastic bottles marked with lot numbers 25E04-A and 25E04-B and an expiration date of 05/27. Company officials say there have been no reported illnesses tied to the product so far.
What was recalled and why
According to the FDA, Blueroot Health issued the voluntary allergy alert on March 27 after its own testing flagged the hidden allergens. The federal notice lists the UPCs for the affected bottles: 693465524213 and 693465000090 for the 200-count, and 693465524114 and 693465000083 for the 100-count. The alert also includes product photos so customers can match what is in their medicine cabinet to the recalled lots. Blueroot Health has notified regulators and says it is offering replacements to customers who purchased the impacted bottles.
Where it was sold
Recall trackers, including ConsumerLab, report that Aller-C was distributed nationwide through VitalNutrients.co and other online retailers. Local coverage notes that New York and New Jersey customers were among those hit by the recall after buying online, as reported by PIX11. Because sales were largely online, shoppers will want to pull up old order confirmations and check bottle labels for those specific lot numbers before taking another dose.
How to handle a bottle you bought
If you have one of the recalled bottles at home, the FDA notice says you should stop using it immediately and return it to Blueroot Health for a replacement. The company has set up customer service at (888) 328-9992 and by email at [email protected] to help with returns and questions. Anyone who experiences an allergic reaction after taking the supplement should seek medical care right away and report the incident through federal reporting channels. The recall page includes product photos and step-by-step return instructions to help confirm whether a bottle is part of the recall.
Why undeclared allergens matter
Undeclared allergens are one of the most common reasons products get pulled from shelves, because even tiny amounts can cause life-threatening reactions in sensitive people. Coverage by Prevention and other recall trackers notes that issues like this often stem from supplier changes or cross-contact during manufacturing and are typically caught during routine testing or internal checks, as happened here.
Local takeaway
For New York and New Jersey shoppers, the bottom line is simple: if you ordered Vital Nutrients Aller-C online, pull the bottle and check the lot numbers and expiration date against the recall details. For more information, review the company announcement on the FDA site or reach out to Blueroot Health's customer service before taking another tablet.
