Summary

Richardson Nutritional Center, LLC/Nutriseeds, Inc. was cited for selling unapproved drugs—including bitter apricot seeds, amygdalin extract, and laetrile B17 products—through multiple websites and a YouTube channel without FDA approval. The company violated the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by making disease claims (cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention) on their websites, eBook, and promotional materials, thereby establishing the products as drugs requiring pre-market approval. The FDA determined these products were being introduced into interstate commerce in violation of the Act based on the health-related claims used to market them to consumers.
