Taipei, Feb. 5 (CNA) Some 900,000 Japanese-made vitamin B complex supplements are being recalled because they were found to have lost their potency over time, Taiwan s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Friday.
The recall is for the VITRIC Tablets brand dietary supplement produced by Japanese firm Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co.
The Taipei-based Shiang Chuan Brother Trading Co., which represents the brand in Taiwan, has until March 2 to complete the recall of the tablets (batch numbers: T8DS01, T8DS02, T8DS3 and T8DS04), said Hung Kuo-teng (洪國登), who heads the FDA s Medicinal Products Division.
