Multivitamin with Fluoride Recall Affects 25 States Due to Subpotent Vitamin D Levels

A chewable multivitamin, Multivitamin with Fluoride, is being voluntarily recalled across 25 states after a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection revealed the product contained lower-than-intended levels of vitamin D. The recall, initiated by Winder Laboratories, LLC, impacts specific lots of the grape-flavored tablets.

What’s Being Recalled?

The recall involves two versions of Multivitamin with Fluoride Chewable Tablets:

  • 0.25 mg Fluoride: Bottles of 100 tablets with NDC 75826-169-10 and UPC 3 15826 16910 2.
  • 1.0 mg Fluoride: Bottles of 100 tablets with NDC 75826-171-10 and UPC 3 15826 17110 5.

Why is it Being Recalled?

The FDA inspection found that the multivitamin was “subpotent” for vitamin D, meaning it contained less of the vitamin than the label stated. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone health by aiding calcium absorption and supports the immune system.
