Food Recall

Infants and young children, pregnant women, and individuals with pre-existing heart, thyroid, or kidney disease may be more vulnerable to excessive cobalt exposure. People taking cobalt-containing supplements or with prolonged exposure may face increased risk of adverse effects. Long-term high exposure may increase the likelihood of cardiomyopathy, thyroid dysfunction, and other systemic health complications.

Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, skin rash, and ringing in the ears after excessive exposure. Higher or prolonged exposure may affect the thyroid, heart, blood, or nervous system. Severe toxicity can lead to cardiomyopathy, hearing or vision changes, nerve damage, or other serious health complications.
