The US Food and Drug Ad­min­is­tra­tion has re­called a sup­ple­ment used by peo­ple on the Ke­to di­et, be­ing sold in Trinidad ad To­ba­go and a few oth­er coun­tries.

The prod­uct that has been re­called is Na­ture­s­Plus Ke­to Liv­ing Sug­ar Con­trol Cap­sules.

Nat­ur­al Or­gan­ics an­nounced the re­call as the Na­ture­s­Plus sup­ple­ment con­tains an in­gre­di­ent that's not list­ed on the la­bel.

Un­for­tu­nate­ly, the in­gre­di­ent in ques­tion is gluten, mak­ing Ke­to Liv­ing Sug­ar Con­trol Cap­sules dan­ger­ous to any­one who is al­ler­gic to wheat or gluten.

Al­so, any­one suf­fer­ing from oth­er wheat- or gluten-re­lat­ed health con­di­tions are be­ing told they should avoid Na­ture­s­Plus cap­sules from the re­called lots.

Dur­ing rou­tine test­ing, the com­pa­ny dis­cov­ered that the prod­uct con­tains gluten.

An in­ves­ti­ga­tion re­vealed that one raw ma­te­r­i­al which is usu­al­ly gluten-free test­ed pos­i­tive for the wheat pro­tein.

Buy­ers who pur­chased Na­ture­s­Plus Ke­to Liv­ing Sug­ar Con­trol Cap­sules re­cent­ly should look for the fol­low­ing iden­ti­fiers to de­ter­mine if the prod­uct is in­clud­ed in the re­call:

NA­TURE­S­PLUS KE­TO LIV­ING SUG­AR Con­TROL CAP­SULES, 90 CAP­SULES, Prod­uct No. 82004, UPC Code 097467820043, Lots 1362073, Best By 10/2025 and 1365200, Best By 10/2025

NA­TURE­S­PLUS KE­TO LIV­ING SUG­AR Con­TROL CAP­SULES, 90 CAP­SULES, Prod­uct No. Ue82004, UPC Code 097467820043, Lots 1361754, BBE 10/2025 and 1364325, BBE 10/2025

The cap­sules come in white jars with black caps.

The la­bels have or­ange, white, and black print. The lot num­bers and best-by dates are on the bot­tom of the jars.

Nat­ur­al Or­gan­ics said it ex­port­ed the prod­uct to buy­ers in Kenya, Spain, Trinidad and To­ba­go, the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates, and the Unit­ed King­dom.

Peo­ple with gluten-re­lat­ed health prob­lems can ex­pe­ri­ence sig­nif­i­cant side ef­fects af­ter con­sum­ing the cap­sules.

Al­ler­gic re­ac­tions can range from mild to life-threat­en­ing. Symp­toms can in­clude swelling, itch­ing, ir­ri­ta­tion of the mouth and throat, hives, nasal con­ges­tion, headache, dif­fi­cul­ty breath­ing, cramps, nau­sea, vom­it­ing, di­ar­rhea, and ana­phy­lax­is.

Ana­phy­lax­is can be fa­tal for peo­ple who suf­fer from se­vere al­ler­gies. Swelling of the throat can lead to breath­ing is­sues, and peo­ple can ex­pe­ri­ence chest pain, dizzi­ness, and faint­ing.

Celi­ac dis­ease has dif­fer­ent symp­toms that are pri­mar­i­ly di­ges­tive: di­ar­rhea, fa­tigue, weight loss, bloat­ing and gas, ab­dom­i­nal pain, nau­sea and vom­it­ing, and con­sti­pa­tion. Some over­lap ex­ists be­tween the two, so it’s im­por­tant that you can tell these con­di­tions apart.

The prod­uct is still safe to con­sume for any­one who doesn’t suf­fer from a med­ical con­di­tion re­lat­ed to wheat or gluten.
