Recall Details and Affected Products
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of Multi-V Men multivitamins manufactured by MTN OPS LLC, a Utah-based company. The recall affects 7,546 bottles that contain “undeclared soy flour” which was not listed on the product label. This omission poses a significant health risk to individuals with soy allergies or sensitivities who may unknowingly consume the product and experience allergic reactions.
The recall specifically targets multivitamin bottles with an expiration date of March 2026 and lot number #012324177. No other batches or products from the company have been included in the current recall action. The FDA has categorized this as a Class II recall, which indicates situations “where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote” but still requires attention.

Health Implications and Consumer Guidance
Undeclared allergens in dietary supplements represent a significant concern for individuals with food sensitivities. For those with soy allergies, accidental consumption could trigger allergic reactions ranging from mild discomfort to more serious health issues. The FDA has determined that this particular situation may cause “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
The affected multivitamins are formulated to support what the company describes as “daily health” and “immune health,” containing essential nutrients including calcium, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin B-12, vitamin D, and thiamin. These nutrients are important components of many men’s health regimens, making this recall particularly relevant for male consumers over 40 who may rely on such supplements.
Context and Industry Implications
While recalls of over-the-counter vitamins and supplements are not common occurrences, they are not unprecedented in the industry. In 2016, Nature Made vitamins faced a similar situation that required a product recall. More recently, in November, the prescription medication clonazepam was recalled for different issues. These instances highlight the ongoing need for vigilance in manufacturing processes and labeling accuracy.
For consumers who take daily supplements, this recall serves as an important reminder to regularly check product labels and be aware of recall notices, especially for those with known allergies. Individuals who have purchased the affected multivitamins should check the expiration date and lot number, and discontinue use if their product matches the recalled batch. Fox News Digital reported attempting to contact MTN OPS for additional comment regarding the recall, but did not receive an immediate response.
