Recalling firm
Lifevantage Corp
Sandy, UT
United States

This is the firm that issued the recall — commonly a distributor or processor. It is not the origin of contamination.

Distribution (the agency's own words)
Sale of products through a network of independent distributors, preferred customers and end consumers in the United States, Japan, Australia and Mexico. Sales also directly to end consumers for personal consumption in Canada. Independent distributors consume the product themselves and in some cases sell the product or provide the product gratis to those potentially interested in LifeVantage. Preferred customers purchase the products on a monthly, auto-ship basis directly from Life Vantage. Other end consumers purchase directly from LifeVantage via the website and are assigned to a distributor.
