The hazard: Undeclared allergen or ingredient

The food itself is fine. What is wrong is the label, and for the households that rely on that label it is a real risk.

What the notice says: Tianeptine can cause life-threatening events including suicidal ideation or behavior in children, adolescents, and adults aged 25 years and younger.

Why it matters: An ingredient that U.S. law requires to be declared is present but missing from the label. People who avoid that ingredient cannot make a safe choice from the packaging.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

What the company announced

[Phoenix, Arizona] – [12/22/25] – Modern Warrior is voluntarily recalling all lots of Modern Warrior Ready, a dietary supplement sold directly to consumers, after regulatory testing identified the presence of undeclared ingredients, including tianeptine, 1,4-DMAA, and aniracetam.

Tianeptine can cause life-threatening events including suicidal ideation or behavior in children, adolescents, and adults aged 25 years and younger. In addition, overdose carriesserious and potentially life-threatening risks including confusion, seizures, drowsiness, dry mouth, and shortness of breath, which can be exacerbated by alcohol use. Using tianeptine in combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOl) antidepressants could lead to life-threatening complications including stroke and death.

Use of 1,4-DMAA can elevate blood pressure and could lead to cardiovascular problems, including heart attack, shortness of breath and tightening of the chest. Products containing synephrine are reported to potentially result in cardiovascular effects, including increasedheart rate and blood pressure, especially in the presence of caffeine.

The recalled product was distributed to customers nationwide from April of 2022 until December 8th of 2025. The recalled product was available for purchase online.

The recalled product is sold in a black plastic supplement bottle with a black screw-top lid sealed with black and gold tamper-evident shrink wrap. The front label features the Modern Warrior (MW) logo in gold at the top.

The product name “Body Repair Plan” appears centered on the front label in gold lettering. Below the product name is the word “READY” with a small sunrise icon, followed by the phrase “Mental Clarity.” The bottle indicates a quantity of 60 capsules.

The overall label design is minimalist, using black and gold coloring with no images other than the brand logo and iconography. The product was sold as a capsule-based dietary supplement under the Modern Warrior brand.

Modern Warrior has immediately ceased distribution, removed the product from sale, and quarantined all remaining inventory to prevent further distribution.

Consumers who have purchased Modern Warrior Ready should stop using the product.

What to do about Allergen

Modern Warrior — The food itself is fine. What is wrong is the label, and for the households that rely on that label it is a real risk.

  1. Read the official notice above for the exact ingredient involved, then check whether anyone in your home avoids it.
  2. Warn anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including schools and childminders.
  3. Report any reaction to the FDA so it is recorded against this recall.
  4. If nobody here avoids it, the product is safe to eat; the refund is still available if you would rather return it.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
