Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements Recalls Honey Supplements Over Undeclared Sildenafil and Tadalafil

TAMPA, Fla. (March 14, 2026) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements, LLC is voluntarily recalling several honey-based dietary supplements after laboratory testing found undeclared prescription drug ingredients in the products. Specifically, according to the FDA, the recalled products (Boner Bear Honey, Red Bull Extreme, and Blue Bull Extreme) contain sildenafil and tadalafil, medications used to treat erectile dysfunction that the company did not list on the product labels.

Meanwhile, the company marketed these items as sexual enhancement honey supplements and distributed them nationwide in single-serving plastic tubes. As a result, the agency warned that the undeclared drugs could pose serious health risks, particularly for individuals taking nitrate medications for heart conditions or other cardiovascular issues.

Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements recall: quick summary

The FDA confirmed that Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements, LLC initiated a nationwide recall on March 14, 2026, after agency laboratory analysis detected undeclared sildenafil and tadalafil in certain honey dietary supplements. Specifically, these ingredients serve as the active components in prescription drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction, including Viagra and Cialis. Because these medications require medical supervision, their presence in unregulated supplements can present serious health risks.

Additionally, the company sold the recalled products as sexual enhancement honey supplements in single-serving plastic tubes and distributed them across the United States. At the same time, company officials stated that they had not received any reports of illnesses or adverse reactions when they announced the recall. Therefore, the company advises consumers who purchased the affected products to stop using them immediately and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

What happened?

According to the FDA, Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements, LLC issued the recall after agency laboratory analysis detected undeclared drug ingredients in the products. Specifically, the company distributed Boner Bear Honey, Red Bull Extreme, and Blue Bull Extreme as sexual enhancement supplements packaged in single-use plastic tubes.

Additionally, the FDA said consumers can identify the affected items by the product names printed on the outer packaging and individual serving tubes. Meanwhile, the company distributed the products nationwide through various retail and online channels.

In its recall alert, the FDA warned that “products containing undeclared sildenafil or tadalafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.”

Furthermore, the agency emphasized that individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease are particularly vulnerable because they frequently take nitrate-based medications.

Affected products

Brand	Product	Size	UPC	Best by date	Issue	Distribution
Boner Bear	Boner Bear Honey	Single tube	788362191603	01/2028	Undeclared sildenafil & tadalafil	Nationwide
Red Bull	Red Bull Extreme	Single tube	9554100205595	05/2029	Undeclared sildenafil	Nationwide
Blue Bull	Blue Bull Extreme	Single tube	707443349917	02/2029	Undeclared sildenafil	Nationwide

What caused the issue?

According to the FDA notice, laboratory testing confirmed that the supplements contained sildenafil and tadalafil, which the company did not list on the product labels. Specifically, doctors prescribe these medications to treat erectile dysfunction and require medical supervision for their use.

As a result, when consumers take these ingredients unknowingly, they can interact with nitrate medications (commonly prescribed for chest pain or heart disease), causing blood pressure to drop to dangerously low levels. Consequently, symptoms of such reactions may include dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or severe hypotension.

At the time of the announcement, the FDA confirmed that it had not received any reports of illnesses or adverse events. However, regulators stressed that the undeclared ingredients still pose a significant health risk, particularly for individuals with cardiovascular conditions.

Behind the brand

Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements, LLC is a Tampa-based distributor of dietary supplements and wellness products. According to the company’s recall announcement, however, it is not the manufacturer of the recalled honey supplements but is issuing the recall voluntarily after the FDA detected the undeclared drug ingredients.

In response, the company stated that it is notifying customers via email and has advised consumers to stop using the affected products and either discard them or return them for refunds.

Other Relevant Recalls

This recall comes amid a growing number of supplement and food product recalls linked to undeclared ingredients or contamination risks. Over the past few years, regulators have issued several alerts involving mislabeled products or hidden pharmaceutical substances that could pose serious health threats to consumers. For example, Green Lumber recently recalled a dietary supplement after testing revealed the presence of the prescription drug tadalafil that was not declared on the label. In another case, Ashfiat Alharamain issued a recall for its Honey Energy Support product after authorities discovered it contained hidden tadalafil, an erectile dysfunction medication that requires medical supervision. Incidents like these highlight ongoing regulatory concerns about supplements marketed for sexual enhancement that may contain undeclared pharmaceutical ingredients.

Food safety and medical experts warn that undisclosed erectile dysfunction drugs in supplements can pose serious cardiovascular risks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration notes that tadalafil should not be used with nitrate medications because “the combination could significantly lower blood pressure and lead to fainting or even death.”

Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86, said recalls like this one underscore the importance of transparency and rigorous quality checks throughout the food and supplement supply chain.

“Food safety isn’t just about regulatory compliance; it’s about maintaining consumer trust,” Mizrahi said. “Every recall highlights the need for strong supplier accountability, better testing protocols, and transparent production practices across the industry.”

Ensuring safe eats

This recall highlights ongoing concerns surrounding the safety of unregulated dietary supplements marketed for sexual enhancement. In particular, products that secretly contain prescription drug ingredients can create dangerous interactions with medications and undermine consumer trust in the supplement market.

For this reason, food and supplement companies must maintain rigorous testing, labeling verification, and supplier oversight to prevent undeclared ingredients from entering the marketplace.

Meanwhile, consumers who purchased Boner Bear Honey, Red Bull Extreme, or Blue Bull Extreme should stop using them immediately and return them for refunds.

At the same time, Source86 supports brands with transparent sourcing, strong FSQA systems, and reliable private-label production so companies can protect consumers and respond quickly when safety concerns arise. Let’s talk.
