Bestco Calcium Chews Have Lower Vitamin D Than Listed; Recalled

Lower-risk recall
A packaging revision and lack of revision to the corresponding packaging batch record caused the labeling for the firm's Signature Care brand Calcium Chews dietary supplement to declare a higher level of Vitamin D than the product actually contained. The bag declares 25 mcg (1000 IU) of Vitamin D. The product actually contains 12.5 mcg (500 IU) of Vitamin D.

“Bestco Calcium Chews Have Lower Vitamin D Than Listed; Recalled.” GovInfoNow, updated October 7, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/19485-bestco-calcium-chews-have-lower-vitamin-d-than-listed-recalled. Based on FDA recall #F-1013-2018 (https://api.fda.gov/food/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22F-1013-2018%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The product was labeled with 25 mcg (1000 IU) of Vitamin D per serving, but it actually contains only 12.5 mcg (500 IU). This means the product provides half the Vitamin D claimed, which could lead to insufficient Vitamin D intake for some users. The issue stems from a packaging revision error that did not update the batch records.
