Government expands recall
of common dietary supplement
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
government expanded its recall of
L-tryptophan Thursday because of
fears that a sometimes fatal blood
disorder can be caused even by small
doses of the dietary supplement.
“We are confronted with a major
public health problem,” Health and
Human Services Secretary Louis
Sullivan warned in the announce
ment by the Food and Drug Admin
istration.
“I urge everyone to stop taking
these supplements immediately,” he
said.
L-tryptophan is an amino acid
that occurs naturally in some foods
that are high in protein, such as
milk, beef, turkey and beans. But it
is also sold over the counter as a
manufactured dietary supplement
used for insomnia, depression and
weight control.
It has been linked to a blood dis
order called eosinophilia-myalgia
syndrome, or EMS.
So far, 1,411 cases of EMS — in
cluding 19 deaths — have been re
ported, the FDA said. Cases have
been reported in every state.
The Council for Responsible Nu
trition, which represents manufac
turers of nutritional supplements,
endorsed the FDA’s action. Its presi
dent, J.B. Cordaro, said “I wish
they’d done it a month ago.”
The council has been recom
mending for more than a month
that its members stop distribution of
all products that contain L-trypto-
phan and that consumers stop using
it, he said.
