Colostrum Product Recalled After Failing to State Contains Milk

Nature’s Energy Children’s Chewable Colostrum is being recalled after it was discovered that the Colostrum containing product was distributed in packaging that did not indicate the presence of milk proteins.  A quick search on the internet revealed that this is not the only product in this category that failed to post a 'Contains' statement for Milk.

Colostrum is milk.   From Healthline -  Bovine colostrum is made from the milky fluid a cow secretes after giving birth. It may help improve immunity, fight germs, and promote gut health. It appears safe for people, but more research is necessary.  Colostrum is a breast fluid produced by humans, cows, and other mammals before breast milk is released.  It’s very nutritious and contains high levels of antibodies, which are proteins that fight infections and bacteria.  Colostrum promotes growth and health in infants and newborn animals, but research shows that taking bovine colostrum supplements may promote immunity, help fight infections, and improve gut health throughout life."
