MaryRuth’s recalls liquid probiotics for Infants due to contamination with Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The FDA reported that MaryRuth’s (a leading omni-channel health and wellness brand that offers vitamins, minerals, and supplements for the entire family) recalls two lots of its liquid probiotic for infants (1oz) due to the possibility of contamination by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This recall only affects two lots of the product, Lot #100420218 and Lot #100520218, UPC barcode number 856645008587. This product is distributed nationwide through Target, Amazon, and direct sales from the company’s website. The company discovered the potential issue with one of its manufacturing partners during routine laboratory testing and decided to take this precautionary measure. The only product complaint the company has received concerning the affected product lots was one report of temporary diarrhea in an older infant after consuming the product, which the company does not believe was related to the presence of the microorganism. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/out-abundance-caution-maryruths-announces-voluntary-recall-two-lots-its-liquid-probiotic-infants
