What happened

American Laboratories Inc recalled one bottle of Pectinase 3,500 ENDO-PG/G enzyme powder because it may contain Chloramphenicol, an antibiotic that is not approved for use in food products. This is a limited recall affecting only one sample bottle distributed to Iowa, Utah, Nevada, Nebraska, and California.

Who is at risk

This product is a food processing enzyme used by manufacturers and food service operations, not a consumer food product, so the general public is unlikely to be affected.

What to do

If you purchased this specific product (100 gm bottle, Product 70A), contact American Laboratories Inc or the FDA for instructions. If you believe you or someone in your household consumed food made with this ingredient, consult a healthcare provider.
