While it's funny it's being recalled for doing what it actually advertises, if it contains any negligible amount of a drug whatsoever it has to be labeled. Not doing so is dangerous and irresponsible.

if it contains any negligible amount of a drug whatsoever

The word negligible here contradicts your point. Did you mean minute?

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, I used negligible wrong here. Minute fits much better!

Measurable would work to.

“In its recall letter, the company further stated if any of its products are flagged by the FDA for containing hidden ingredients, they’re immediately removed from its catalog.” So “if they catch us we’ll take it down, but in the meantime good luck!”

Look out for other products like Cocaine Cowboy flavored beef jerky, Grabby Henry's Bourbon and Lucy's Silly Drops... And remember our motto "we always recall what the FDA catches"

The fantastic state of "supplements" in the US.

They successfully lobbied against being regulated as food or drugs. So anything goes in terms of label accuracy (e.g., cake batter flavored protein shake that was just drum roll, cake batter!) and they can claim, with zero proof whatsoever, whatever they want in terms of efficacy.

Just get caught, recall, and move on to the next scam. Beautiful freedom in action.

Didn’t they just recall honey with this too?

"If we take the Viagra out of the chocolate, it wouldn't be boner chocolate, now would it?!"
