Natural Dior LLC has issued a voluntary nationwide recall of Vitafer-L Gold Liquid after tests revealed the dietary supplement contains undeclared tadalafil, the active ingredient in prescription erectile dysfunction medications.
The February 25, 2025 recall affects multiple lots of the product marketed as an iron and vitamin supplement. FDA published the recall notice on February 26, 2025.
“The product has been found to contain undeclared tadalafil, an ingredient in FDA approved products for treatment of male erectile dysfunction,” states the official recall notice. Products containing tadalafil cannot legally be sold as dietary supplements.
The health risk is substantial. Tadalafil can interact dangerously with nitrate medications commonly prescribed for heart conditions, diabetes, and high blood pressure. This interaction can cause potentially life-threatening drops in blood pressure.
Undeclared pharmaceutical ingredients in dietary supplements can lead to serious health consequences, particularly for vulnerable populations taking other medications.
Affected Products
The recall covers ten specific lots of Vitafer-L Gold Liquid sold in 16.9 fl oz (500 mL) bottles packaged in folding cardboard boxes:
- Lot 7021-2304 – Exp. April 2025
- Lot 7017-2304 – Exp. April 2025

- Lot 9669-2403 – Exp. March 2025
- Lot 10060-2404 – Exp. April 2026
The product was distributed nationwide through Amazon and Walmart, as well as through wholesale accounts. It was also exported to Miami, Florida through an importer (Laboratorio Natural Dior LLC).
