FDA Recalls B12 Gummy Vitamins Over Undeclared Peanut Allergen Concerns

Vita Warehouse Corp. has pulled several B12 gummy vitamin products from shelves nationwide due to a potential peanut allergen not listed on the labels. The recall, announced by the FDA, affects Welby Vitamin B12 Energy Support (140 gummies), Berkley Jensen Vitamin B12 (250 gummies), and VitaGlobe Vitamin B12 Extra Strength (60 gummies). These products, sold at Aldi, BJ’s, and online platforms like Amazon, carry lot number 248046601 with an expiration date of October 2026.

Why the recall? Routine testing by Aldi flagged a possible peanut presence, despite Vita Warehouse’s internal tests showing no peanuts. The company isn’t taking chances, prioritizing consumer safety for those with peanut allergies, who could face serious or life-threatening reactions. No illnesses have been reported as of June 12, but the stakes are high—peanut allergies don’t mess around.

What to do? If you’ve got these gummies, check the lot number and expiration date. Return them for a full refund or toss them out. If you experience an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately. Vita Warehouse assures consumers that no other products under these brands are affected and emphasizes their commitment to safety, working closely with the FDA.

This isn’t the first time allergens have slipped through the cracks—recent recalls of baked beans and snacks for similar issues show how tricky label accuracy can be. For now, double-check your vitamins, especially if peanuts are your kryptonite.
