A Fresno-based food service company issued a voluntary recall for 53 beverage products over possible contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii, according to an announcement posted by the company on Friday.
Lyons Magnus issued a list of recalled products including some branded as Oatly, Stumptown, Glucerna, Intelligentsia, Aloha, Kate Farms, and Premier Protein/ The list 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.
To date, no illnesses or complaints related to these products have been reported, although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises the recalled products should not be consumed.
The FDA also states the preliminary root cause analysis shows that the products did not meet commercial sterility specifications.
Anyone who has a recalled product in his or her possession should dispose of it immediately or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Consumers in all time zones with questions may contact the Lyons Recall Support Center 24/7 at 1-800-627-0557, or visit its website at www.lyonsmagnus.com. This recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
