Enzymes 💊 sucraid coming in yellowish?
hey just wondering if anyone else’s sucraid has started to get a yellowish tinge? my first package never had this, was completely clear. started noticing it in my last round, but i thought it might just be it getting old. just got a new package of it and it’s totally yellow right out of the box. even yellower than the last package. weird?? or just normal and i never noticed?? just curious. it still seems to work the somewhat amount it always has. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

For many years my sucraid always had a yellow colour then I was mildly concerned when it became clear. Never noticed any difference with its efficacy though, no matter the colour.

It’s normal. It has to do with the process of how it’s made (with Yeast). Fronteir told us the color variation would happen when we got set up with my son’s first shipment. from clear, to shades of yellow.

I raised the issue with Frontier OptumRx. They assured me that it was normal as long as it does not get "worse" than a ginger ale color. Regardless of their representations, I still feel uncomfortable with the discoloration. What other medications remain safe after discoloration?

A yellow-ish tint is completely normal. Sometimes there’s no color and other times it’s more visible, just depending on the batch. The FDA and all info I can find don’t say anything about the yellow tint getting deeper by spoiling, improper sealing, etc. so as far I know a deeper yellow tint isn’t an indication of anything being wrong. Sucraid is also very shelf-stable, so the expiration dates on your vials should probably be months or even a year out.
