The agency determined that an additional product labeled as tejocote root or Brazil seed has yellow oleander instead of the ingredients on its label. “Yellow oleander is a poisonous plant native to Mexico and Central America and a toxic substance of concern to public health officials,” the FDA wrote in its warning update last week.
As part of an investigation that dates back to 2023, the FDA has identified over two dozen products featuring yellow oleander. These products are sold on platforms like Amazon, Ebay and “natural” websites. The FDA noted that some — but not all — of the retailers agreed to recall the toxic products. The latest addition to the FDA’s list is Chupa Panza, sold by Naturista Reyes . The FDA reported that Ebay removed the listing last week.Doctor shares ‘bad news’ about what really happens when you’re out for a colonoscopyFor those who have consumed these products, the FDA recommends contacting a health care provider immediately, even if the use was a while ago.Tejocote root, derived from a hawthorn tree that’s native to the mountainous regions of Mexico and parts of Guatemala, has long been used in traditional Mexican medicine for respiratory and digestive health. More recently, it’s doubled as an herbal supplement that promises weight loss, appetite suppression, fat burning and detox powers with little to no evidence to support those claims.
