Out of an Abundance of Caution Maryruth's Announces Voluntary Recall of Two Lots of ITS Liquid Probiotic for Infants Because of the Potential for Contamination with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa | Food Recalls & Alerts
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a microorganism found in the environment that, if ingested, can cause infection in immunocompromised individuals or, rarely, in very young infants.
Symptoms
Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in immunocompromised infants are generally limited to hospital settings. In such settings, there is the chance that the infant’s immature gut will not be able to prevent P. aeruginosa from gaining access to the blood, and from there it can disseminate elsewhere in the body, resulting in the possibility of serious adverse health consequences.
