TOPIC: 53 Nutritional and Beverage Products by Lyons Magnus: Recall - Due To The Potential For Microbial Contamination
AUDIENCE: Consumer, Patient, Health Professional, Pharmacy
ISSUE: Lyons Magnus LLC is recalling nutritional and beverage products due to the potential for microbial contamination, including from the organism Cronobacter sakazakii. The list of recalled products does not include products intended for infants (i.e. under the age of one). While infection related to Cronobacter sakazakii is rare, the common symptoms of illness could include fever, vomiting and urinary tract infection. However, vulnerable and immunocompromised populations may be more susceptible to infection. Preliminary root cause analysis shows that the products did not meet commercial sterility specifications.
To date, no illnesses or complaints related to these products have been reported. The recalled products should not be consumed.
