Oatly, Premier Protein and More Recalled: Did You Buy Any of These Brands?

Food and beverage manufacturer Lyons Magnus, which advertises as a leader in the food service industry, issued a recall last week of 53 different types of drinks because they might be harboring unsafe microbial contamination, including cronobacter sakazakii. 

Cronobacter infections are rare, according to the recall posted to the US Food and Drug Administration’s website, and may cause fever, vomiting or urinary tract infections. But cronobacter can be dangerous or life-threatening for babies, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. 

Some lots of Oatly’s “barista edition” oat milk are being recalled.
