March 2, 2011 - Garden of Life, LLC today announced that it is voluntarily recalling its Raw Vitamin C because these products may contain undeclared soy proteins.
Consumers who have purchased Raw Vitamin C and are sensitive to soy should stop taking the product. According to the FDA less than 0.2% of children and adults are sensitive to soy.

No other Garden of Life products are involved with this voluntary recall.
Raw Vitamin C has been sold nationally to traditional health food stores and through internet retailers...
