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. Pure Encapsulations, Inc. recalled a different product on November 17, 2017. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Pure Encapsulations Systemic Enzyme Complex DIETARY SUPPLEMENT 180 CAPSULES UPC: 7 66298 00862…”
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingCheckedCan you trust the review pattern?
We can see 80 of this product’s 548 reviews — the count rose between August 13, 2025 and August 26, 2026. That is too small a slice to say anything about the wider pattern.
A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.
Evidence and sources
Written reviews rose from 468 to 548 between August 13, 2025 and August 26, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 14, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
