The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced on Saturday the voluntary recall of a probiotic dietary supplement marketed specifically for use in infants and children. But the concerns have grown considerably since then.
Solgar Inc. of Leonia, New Jersey, is recalling three lots of ABC Dophilus® Powder, a product containing three types of reportedly beneficial bacteria. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that these product lots contain a fungus called Rhizopus oryzae. In rare cases, the fungus can cause infections of the sinus, lungs, intestines, and skin, called mucormycosis.
