Does the marketing hold up?
FDA recall appears in this brand's history. An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.
Is the dose real?Panel read — dose not verified7 ingredients listed; no advertised amount we could confirm against them
What a serving costs$0.47per serving, at the checked price
Is it tested?No testing claim made
Who’s behind it?USPTO lookup didn’t finisha gap in our records, not a finding about the brand
Is it the real thing?✓Barcode matches outside records
Trouble on record?Brand history — not this product
“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

FDA recall appears in this brand's history
An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.
Evidence and sources
This recall is not about the product on this page. FoodState, Inc recalled a different product on April 15, 2016. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “MegaFood Multi for Women 40+, Multivitamin & Mineral Dietary Supplement packaged in glass bottles…”

Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.
Evidence and sources
The listing claims 26 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Iron (as fermented iron bisglycinate) at 26 mg per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

The barcode identity checks out · 051494104279.
The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.
Evidence and sources
Open Food Facts resolves 051494104279 to "Blood Builder Minis" (MegaFood) — consistent with this listing.
