COA FS Supplement Recalled by FDA

Supplement Recalled by FDA

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Health advisors with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated samples of COA FS randomly selected from markets, and a manufacturing facility are contaminated. According to an article appearing on graphic.com, the FDA found Escherichia coli (E. Coli) bacteria in the random sampling. An E. Coli infection, which is a common source of food poisoning, causes gastroenteritis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Additionally, E. Coli is known to cause kidney failure in some patients. Consequently, the FDA directed all consumers to return the products for a refund, send the supplement to a local FDA office, or discard them. The medicinal product is manufactured by a company called COA Herbal Center from Ghana and must not be consumed according to the FDA.

The FDA expressed grave concerns that people who are physically weak due to age or infirmity could fall terribly ill or die from an E. Coli infection. An infection by E. Coli bacteria could cause the victim’s kidneys to shut down due to a condition called hemolytic uremic syndrome. The FDA announced that people who are HIV-positive, people with a weak immune system, and other life-threatening health conditions are at an elevated risk for the hemolytic uremic syndrome.

The FDA demanded that COA FS remove all of its products from the market because of the impurity. The FDA said that its agents are working to ensure the company complies with the FDA’s demands.

COA FS products have been connected to COVID-19 trials and touted by some as a cure for the deadly virus. The company, to its credit, disclaimed any association with curing COVID-19 with any of its products. The company said that some Chinese nationals claimed they consumed COA FS Immune Booster food supplements and survived the COVID-19 infection. The company asked for governmental agencies to research the connection if any.
