Asteria Health, a subsidiary of biote Corporation, has voluntarily recalled hormone pellets due to potential metal contamination. The recall affects lots shipped between May 20, 2025, and January 19, 2026. The company anticipates a one-time charge of approximately $1.3 million for the write-off of affected inventory and additional recall costs of about $1.0 million in 2026. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is aware of the recall, and affected practitioners have been notified.
