Nature Made Vitamins Recalled for Food Poisoning Risk

June 9, 2016 — Pharmavite, LLC has issued a recall for Nature Made® vitamins that may be contaminated with Salmonella or Staphylococcus aureus.

No illnesses have been reported. The recall was issued after it was discovered that the products were not tested for Staph or Salmonella. Pharmavite has issued corrective actions.

Certain lots of the following products are being recalled:

• Nature Made Adult Gummies Multi
• Nature Made Adult Gummies Multi + Omega-3
• Nature Made Adult Gummies Multi for Her plus Omega-3s
• Nature Made Super B Complex w/C & Folic Acid Tablets

Staph aureus (Staph) is a common bacteria found on the skin and noses of up to 25% of healthy adults. Unlike most bacteria, it can grow in salty foods and survive cooking.

People who eat food contaminated with Staph toxins can rapidly develop nausea, vomiting, retching, abdominal cramping, and prostration. In more severe cases, patients experience headache, muscle cramping, and transient changes in blood pressure and pulse.

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause severe and sometimes fatal infections in young children, older adults, and people with underlying health problems. In healthy adults, symptoms may include fever, diarrhea (may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

According to the FDA, infections can also lead to serious complications:

“In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.”
