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…”

Checks outCan you trust the review pattern?

Reviews rose from 231 to 242 between February 12 and July 23, 2026 — no sudden jump.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 231 to 242 between February 12 and July 23, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 3, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

What remains open 3
  • Panel amounts still need a clearer source image.
  • We have not found a public label filing for this exact product.
  • Barcode checksum is valid; no independent product record was found.

These are evidence gaps, not strikes against the product.
