What happened?
The FDA said XD Investments LLC initiated the recall after agency analysis found undeclared mitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl in Better Weather Fix Elixir products. The company formally announced the recall on May 9, 2026, and the FDA published the alert on May 11.
Meanwhile, XD Investments LLC, based in Houston, Texas, markets dietary supplement products online. According to regulators, the recalled products include all flavors and variations of Better Weather Fix Elixir sold in display boxes labeled “Better Weather Fix Elixir” and “Better Weather Fix Elixir Berry.”
Additionally, the company distributed the products online nationwide between Nov. 9, 2025, and Mar. 28, 2026, through xdeor.com and Maxen Supplements, regulators said. The FDA discovered the issue during agency analysis of the products.
In its recall alert, the FDA warned that “consumption of MP can produce undesirable effects such as nausea, vomiting, rapid heart rate (tachycardia), palpitations, hallucinations, sedation, anxiety, and loss of consciousness.” The agency also cautioned that the substances “can also fatally suppress the respiratory system.”
The FDA additionally noted that products containing mitragynine or mitragynine pseudoindoxyl may lead to addiction and severe opioid withdrawal symptoms, especially when combined with other prescribed or illicit substances.
Affected products

Better Weather | Fix Elixir Berry | Display boxes | All lots | Undeclared mitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl | Nationwide online sales |
What caused the issue?
According to the FDA notice, the recall was triggered after testing identified undeclared mitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl in the products. Mitragynine is the primary active alkaloid in kratom, while mitragynine pseudoindoxyl is considered a more potent derivative with opioid-like effects.
The agency confirmed these substances may cause serious health complications, including nausea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, sedation, hallucinations, and respiratory depression. In severe cases, consumers could experience loss of consciousness or fatal respiratory suppression.
Furthermore, health experts warn that individuals who combine these substances with prescription medications, alcohol, or illicit drugs may face elevated risks. Likewise, consumers with underlying respiratory conditions, cardiovascular disease, or a history of substance dependency may be particularly vulnerable.
So far, company officials said they have not received any reports of adverse events connected to the recalled products.

Behind the brand
XD Investments LLC is a Houston-based company that markets dietary supplement products online under the Better Weather label. The company distributes wellness and supplement products directly to consumers through its e-commerce channels.

Other relevant recalls
This latest recall adds to a growing list of food and supplement recalls involving undeclared substances, contamination concerns, and labeling issues. Recent examples include Shining Sea Fish Co. recalling Ma Cohen’s Kippered Herring over possible Clostridium botulinum contamination, Wildlife Seasoning recalling Popping Topping – Sour Cream & Onion Seasoning due to potential Salmonella contamination, and My Wife’s Slaw recalling Original and Jalapeno Heat Coleslaw over a potential foodborne illness risk. Industry experts say these incidents reflect ongoing challenges involving ingredient verification, contamination prevention, and supply chain oversight across the food and supplement sectors.
Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86, said recalls involving undeclared substances underscore the importance of transparency across the food and supplement supply chain.
“Food safety isn’t just about compliance; it’s about trust. Every recall reminds us how vital it is to maintain transparency, rigorous checks, and supplier accountability,” Mizrahi said.
Broader pattern
The Better Weather recall comes amid increased regulatory scrutiny of dietary supplements containing kratom-related compounds and other undeclared active ingredients. In recent years, FDA officials have repeatedly warned consumers about products marketed as supplements that contain hidden substances capable of causing addiction, overdose, or severe adverse reactions.
Meanwhile, industry analysts say online supplement sales complicate enforcement efforts, especially when companies market products with limited ingredient transparency. As a result, regulators continue urging consumers to purchase supplements cautiously and verify products through reputable manufacturers and retailers.
Ensuring safe eats
The Better Weather Fix Elixir recall highlights the critical role transparency and ingredient verification play in protecting consumer safety. In particular, undeclared substances can put consumers at risk of potentially life-threatening health complications, especially when companies market products as wellness supplements without clear labeling.
Moreover, for the supplement and food industries, recalls like this reinforce the need for stronger quality assurance systems, supplier accountability, routine testing, and accurate labeling practices. Meanwhile, consumers who purchased the recalled products should stop using them immediately and follow the company’s refund or disposal instructions.
