Celebrity Promoted Supplement Recalled Due to Contamination Concerns

Tens of thousands of canisters of Collagen Peptides powder, endorsed by Jennifer Aniston as the spokesperson for the brand Vital Proteins, have been recalled amidst fears of product contamination.

The recall, initiated by Vital Proteins out of caution and commitment to consumer safety, affects more than 59,700 canisters distributed to Costco stores across 20 states and Puerto Rico. The voluntary recall was prompted by the potential presence of broken plastic lid fragments in the product, as stated in the recall notice posted on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website. 

As per NBC News, Vital Proteins’ 24-ounce supplement canisters were available for purchase at Costco stores from April 17 to 24. Costco is providing a full refund to anybody who purchased the recalled supplements throughout the specified time periods. There have been no reported illnesses or injuries as a result of the tainted food, and the recall is just affecting Costco locations. Costco and Vital Proteins have contacted consumers who may have purchased the tainted item and have removed it from the shelves. 

Collagen is a protein present throughout the body because it is essential for the formation of connective tissues such as skin, muscle, hair, and tendons. Despite the fact that there is now little scientific agreement on the advantages of oral collagen supplements, Vital Proteins has promoted its collagen products as improving the health of a variety of physical features, including hair, nails, skin, bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles. 

Jennifer Aniston serves as the company’s Chief Creative Officer and is its most well-known ambassador. Aniston is so certain of the benefits of collagen supplements that she adds a scoop of the powdered supplement to her daily smoothie or cup of coffee, according to the Vital Proteins website.  

Vital Proteins has recalled its Collagen Peptides powder canisters owing to product quality and consumer safety concerns. The firm is taking precautions to avoid contamination from outside sources. It’s important to note that the recall only relates to the specific canisters of Collagen Peptides sold at Costco and not to any other locations or online retailers. 

To preserve the safety of its consumers, Vital Proteins and Costco has issued a voluntary recall of their Collagen Peptides powder. Costco sold around 59,700 potentially hazardous canisters between April 17 and April 24. Vital Proteins’ commitment to quality assurance reflects the company’s concern for its clients’ well-being. There have been no reported injuries as a result of this recall, and Vital Proteins and Costco want to reassure their consumers.
