Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and in rare cases, death. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, more commonly known as staph, can cause a slew of medical problems, from bone infections to pneumonia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“The recall was initiated after it was discovered that salmonella and/or staphylococcus aureus testing were not completed properly on these specific batch lots,” the company said.
Pharmavite added it was recalling two other products — Nature Made Adult Gummies Hair, Skin, Nails and Nature Made Vitamin D 1000 IU Tablets — for “other reasons.” No other details were given.
