Shatavari Powder Recalled Due to Risk of Lead Contamination
On January 27, 2025, New York Wholesale Group recalled Zaarah Herbals shatavari powder because of potential lead contamination.
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus Willd), also known as wild asparagus, is an herb commonly used in Ayurveda and other traditional medicines for women's health (see the Shatavari section of ConsumerLab’s Menopause Supplements Review for more information).
Exposure to lead, even at low levels, is associated with neurological impairment, and in children, learning disabilities and lower IQ scores. Symptoms of lead toxicity include abdominal pain, headache, changes in blood pressure, dizziness, kidney and brain damage. Chronic exposure to lead has been linked to kidney, liver, and bone damage in humans.
Recalled Zaarah Herbals shatavari powder was distributed to retailers in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut between 10/21/2022 and 04/15/2024 (see product photos). The product is packaged in clear 100g (3.5oz) jars with a gold lid and can be further identified by the following:
- Product: Zaarah Herbals shatavari powder
- UPC: 63502899940
- Batch No.: SR 04
- Manufacturing Date: July/2022
Consumers who have purchased recalled Zaarah Herbals shatavari powder are advised to return them to the retail location where the purchase was made for a full refund. For more information customers can contact New York Wholesale Group.
