The specific lots of Nature Made dietary supplements were recalled after it was discovered that Salmonella and/or Staphylococcus aureus testing was not completed properly on these specific batch lots. In the press release. there is no mention of yeast or mold fears, although a number of grocery store websites mention this.
Pharmavite has identified the cause of the error in testing and has already implemented corrective measures to rectify the issue. The company is also working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in implementing this recall as well as notifying all retail customers and distributors to remove the product from store shelves immediately.
The products subject to the recall were distributed nationwide to various major retailers as well as being sold online by some retailers. The following products, including the description, count, Lot number and UPC code are listed below:
The lot number can be found on the back panel next to the expiration date. Products that fall within the lots indicated should not be consumed. Consumers are encouraged to return the affected products to their retailer for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm PST at 1-800-276-2878.
Again, the recall notice issued by Pharmavite does not mention yeast or molds as being a possible contaminant, even though the erroneous statement was picked up and passed along by other news sites. The company has not received any calls regarding any illnesses associated with this recall.
