Liquid probiotics recalled over infection-causing bacteria

Flesh Eating Bacteria Facts Myths and Precautions

On Monday, Livia Global, Inc., a health and wellness company that sells LiviaOne Liquid Probiotics and BioLifePet Liquid Probiotics, announced that it is voluntarily recalling two lots of liquid probiotics due to the possibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination, the FDA reported.

These products are distributed nationwide through Amazon, wholesale and through the company’s website.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an environmental microorganism that, if ingested, can cause life-threatening infection in immunocompromised people. In most cases, P. aeruginosa infections occur only in hospitals.

“We apologize for any concern or inconvenience this situation causes our customers and are here to support them,” Deborah Moreno, Chief Operations Officer, said in a company announcement.
