On June 21, 2023, International Food Companies DBA International Food Products recalled two protein supplements due to potential contamination with Staphylococcus aureus.

Staphylococcus aureus can cause food poisoning, the onset of which can be rapid, and in many cases, acute, depending on the amount of toxin ingested and other factors. Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, retching, abdominal cramping, and prostration, and in more severe cases, headache, muscle cramping, and transient changes in blood pressure and pulse can occur.
