OsteoDenx Capsules Recalled Over Undeclared Milk

A bone-health supplement is being pulled for what's not on its label. bioQuad Life Sciences of Yorba Linda, California, is recalling two lots of OsteoDenx dietary supplement capsules because they contain undeclared milk, according to the company's announcement published by the FDA on November 13, 2026. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they take the product.

The recall covers lot LOT#0524100, expiring May 2027, and lot LOT#0625041, expiring August 2028. Both lots were sold in 30-capsule cartons, UPC 8 57294 00722 8, and 60-capsule cartons, UPC 8 57294 00734 1. The lot number and expiration date are printed on the side panel of the carton, which makes a home check quick: if the lot matches, the recall applies, whatever the carton size.

The product reached buyers nationwide. It sold through online orders at bioquad.com and Amazon.com, through resellers, and through a dental clinic in Redwood City, California, from November 1, 2024 to November 11, 2026 — a two-year window, which is why the company is asking buyers to check cartons they may have held for months. Distribution has stopped until corrected cartons are available.

The problem surfaced in a routine FDA inspection, not after an injury. The capsules contain lactoferrin derived from cow's milk, and that ingredient's milk origin wasn't declared. No illnesses have been reported to date, the company says. For a milk-allergic buyer, though, an undeclared allergen is the whole ballgame: a supplement taken daily, in good faith, carrying an ingredient the label never names.

The company's instructions are direct. Consumers who are allergic or sensitive to milk shouldn't take the product and may discard it. Buyers of the affected lots can request a full refund or a replacement in corrected packaging. Questions go to the company at (714) 660-1031, Monday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The recall is being made with the knowledge of the FDA.

Two details on the carton settle most questions at the kitchen counter. The 30-capsule carton weighs 17.85 grams and the 60-capsule carton 35.7 grams, and both sizes carry the same two lot numbers, so size doesn't change the answer — the lot does. Buyers who can't find a legible lot number can reach the company by email at [email protected] as well as by phone, and the announcement says messages left after hours or on weekends get an answer the next business day.
