Conflicting test results indicating a potential allergy danger caused the manufacturer of vitamin B12 gummies to recall them nationwide.

Vita Warehouse made Welby Vitamin B12 Energy Support gummies 1000 mcg for Aldi, Berkely Jensen Vitamin B12 1000 mcg gummies for BJ’s Wholesale Club, and sells VitaGlobe Vitamin B12 Extra Strength gummies through its website. The gummies should be peanut free, as indicated on the label’s ingredient listing.

But, Vita Warehouse said in its FDA-posted recall notice, Aldi’s routine testing for allergen listing accuracy “indicated a potential presence of a peanut allergen. Although internal testing conducted by Vita Warehouse Corp. has verified the absence of peanuts in the product, the recall is being initiated out of an abundance of caution to ensure consumer safety and trust.”

Because, if Aldi’s testing is correct and someone with a peanut allergy gulps the gummies, Vita Warehouse’s notice says, there’s a “risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction.”

Each of the bottles has lot No. 248046601 with an October 2026 expiration date of October 2026. If you have them and they might be taken by someone who has a peanut allergy, return them to your seller for a refund.
