The discrepancy between labelled doses and actual doses of chondroitin sulphate were detected during routine testing by the company, and was quickly traced back to one supplier, said the company. The supplier has since been eliminated from MegaFood’s approved vendor list.
“MegaFood’s reputation and success is built on our rigid quality control standards and commitment to excellence,” said Carl Jackson, president of MegaFood. “While the packaging error on these particular lots of Essentials Joint Strength do not pose any health hazards for consumers, the voluntary recall reflects our total dedication to providing customers with the highest, premium quality products.”
