Oatly, Stumptown and other beverages recalled due to potential microbial contamination

Lyons Magnus, the maker of coffee and nutritional drinks, is recalling 53 different products for possible bacterial contamination.

The list of recalled brands includes Aloha, Oatly, Stumptown, Glucerna, Premier Protein and others. The items, which were distributed nationally, are potentially contaminated with the bacterium Cronobacter sakazakii, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The FDA notes that Cronobacter-related infections are rare, but more likely to occur in vulnerable and immunocompromised populations. Common symptoms include fever, vomiting and urinary tract infection, the agency said. In more severe cases, Cronobacter can also cause sepsis or meningitis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Recalled products such as Oatly Oat Milk should not be consumed, the FDA warns, but should be thrown away or returned to the store for a refund.

The recalled products “did not meet commercial sterility specifications,” the FDA notes. So far, however, the agency has not received any reports of illness or complaints related to the recalled products, he said.
