These Doctors Scientific Organica Burn Boot Camp Afterburn Grass-Fed Whey Protein Bars were known to be marketed, distributed and sold from Burn Bootcamp retail locations in all US states, although it is always possible these food products had wider distribution within the country.

According to the FDA, Doctors Scientific Organica has recalled certain batch/lots of Burn Boot Camp Afterburn Grass-Fed Whey Protein Bars from the American marketplace due to reported cloth, paper and plastic fragment contamination. As a result of this reported defect, you should neither serve nor consume the recalled Energy Bars identified above.

In this case, this recall was initiated after foreign material, including disposable hairnet, shrink wrap and parchment paper, may have entered the manufacturing process and may be found in the final Burn Boot Camp Afterburn Grass-Fed Whey Protein Bar products.

In general, if bone, glass, paper, cloth, metal, plastic and/or rubber fragments are ingested, they could cut the mouth, stomach or other parts of the GI tract, cause intestinal perforation or serious infection and possibly require surgical intervention for their safe removal.

==> Never depend on your senses of sight, smell, taste or touch to confirm food poisoning, adulteration or contamination. If in doubt about the safety of any food, return it to your retailer for refund or toss it out in your household garbage, making sure neither small children nor household pets can access the suspect food.

If you believe you have purchased or have in your possession any of the recalled Doctors Scientific Organica Burn Boot Camp Afterburn Grass-Fed Whey Protein Bars, please do not consume them directly nor use them as an ingredient in another dish or preparation.
