Eros Apothecary Recalls Organic Honey Candy After FDA Finds Hidden Prescription Drug

Eros Apothecary, based in Indio, California, has issued a recall for its “Candy Power For Man Organic Honey” product. The recall follows laboratory testing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which identified the presence of tadalafil in the candy. Tadalafil is the active ingredient in the prescription medication Cialis, which is used to treat erectile dysfunction.

The affected product was sold through the online marketplace eBay between April 27, 2026, and July 20, 2026. The recall covers 60-count packages of the honey-based candy, which feature yellow and orange packaging. The products involved in this recall were manufactured in January 2024 and have an expiration date of December 2029 printed on the back panel.

Health Risks of Undeclared Ingredients

Tadalafil is a regulated substance that is only approved for use under the guidance of a licensed health care professional. The presence of this drug in a product marketed as an organic supplement poses significant health risks to consumers, particularly those who are unaware they are ingesting it.

The primary danger involves a potential interaction with nitrates. Nitrates are commonly found in prescription medications used by people with heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. When tadalafil is combined with these nitrates, it can cause a sudden and dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Steps for Consumers

If you purchased Candy Power For Man Organic Honey, you should stop using the product immediately. The company advises that you dispose of any remaining product you have in your possession. If you have questions regarding the recall, you may contact the company directly at ErosFDA@gmail.com.

Consumers who believe they have experienced health issues related to the use of this candy should contact their healthcare provider. Additionally, the FDA encourages the public to report any adverse reactions or quality concerns through its MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program. Reports can be submitted via the FDA website, by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178, or by calling 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form.

Understanding the Recall Process

A recall is a voluntary or requested action taken by a company to remove products from the market that may be dangerous or violate FDA regulations. In this instance, the recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the FDA. This process is intended to prevent further public exposure to products that do not meet safety standards or contain undisclosed, potentially harmful ingredients.

When a product is found to contain undeclared prescription drugs, the manufacturer is responsible for notifying the public and removing the stock from circulation. While this process is designed to protect consumers, it does not change the fact that individuals may have already consumed the product. Keeping records of your purchase and documenting any health symptoms can be important if you need to provide information to medical professionals or regulatory agencies.

If you have suffered a health complication that you believe is linked to the use of this product, speaking with a lawyer may help you understand your rights and options for addressing the situation.
