Houston-Based Why Not Natural Recalls Supplements Amid FDA Salmonella Probe

A Houston-based dietary supplement maker, Why Not Natural, has issued a voluntary recall of several products following an ongoing U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigation into potential salmonella contamination. The FDA notified the company after detecting possible contamination during routine testing, prompting an immediate recall to protect consumer health.

The first mention of Houston highlights the local significance of the recall, as the company operates within the city and distributes products nationwide. The affected supplements include select liquid vitamin formulations sold online and through various retail channels. The company said it initiated the recall out of caution and has advised customers to stop using the products immediately.

Salmonella exposure can cause symptoms such as fever, abdominal discomfort, and gastrointestinal distress. While no illnesses connected to the recalled supplements have been reported, federal regulators are testing additional samples and reviewing manufacturing records.

Why It Matters

This recall affects customers both locally and across the country, given the brand's broad online reach. Houston residents who use natural and vitamin-based supplements may have these products at home. The recall underscores the importance of strict manufacturing oversight and consumer awareness when purchasing health products online.

What’s Next

The FDA's investigation remains ongoing as the agency confirms whether contamination occurred during production or transport. Why Not Natural stated it is cooperating fully with federal authorities and is reviewing its internal safety processes. Customers seeking refunds or more details can contact the company directly through its consumer hotline or website.
