Men’s Multivitamins Recalled After Dangerous Allergen Found – Could Your Bottle Be Affected?

A major recall has been issued for a brand of men’s multivitamins after the presence of an undeclared allergen – soy flour – was discovered. The recall, affecting 7,546 bottles of Multi-V Men multivitamins manufactured by Utah-based MTN OPS LLC, poses a serious risk to consumers with soy allergies.

The multivitamins, sold in 60-capsule bottles, were flagged by the FDA on April 9, 2025, and classified as a Class II recall. This classification is reserved for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the risk of serious harm is considered remote. However, for those with soy allergies, even a small amount of exposure could lead to severe reactions.

The vitamins contain key nutrients such as calcium, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin B-12, and vitamin D, all of which are intended to support men’s daily health and immune function. The pills are marketed as a daily supplement to maintain a strong, healthy, and energetic lifestyle.

What Consumers Need to Know

The recalled vitamins have an expiration date of March 2026, and the lot number affected is #012324177. It’s important to note that no other batches are included in the recall. If you have purchased the affected product, it is crucial that you stop using it immediately and return it to the store where it was purchased or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.

Soy is a common allergen that can trigger severe reactions in sensitive individuals, and the inclusion of this ingredient in the multivitamins could lead to serious health consequences for those who are unaware of the contamination.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

It’s not common for over-the-counter supplements like multivitamins to be recalled, but when they are, it’s typically due to contamination or mislabeling. In this case, the discovery of soy flour in the product was not disclosed on the packaging, which could lead unsuspecting consumers to unknowingly ingest a harmful allergen.

This recall follows a similar incident in 2016 when Nature Made recalled some of its vitamins due to fears of salmonella or staphylococcus contamination. Additionally, in 2023, a recall was issued for clonazepam due to incorrect labeling of strength and National Drug Code.

How to Stay Safe

If you or someone you know uses Multi-V Men multivitamins and may have purchased a bottle from the affected lot, it’s essential to stop using the product immediately. For individuals with soy allergies, a severe allergic reaction could occur, leading to symptoms like difficulty breathing, swelling, and even anaphylaxis in extreme cases.

For more information about the recall or how to return the product, consumers are advised to contact MTN OPS LLC directly or visit the FDA’s website for updates. Stay informed and make sure that your supplements are safe!
