A slew of different types of Nature Made vitamins have been voluntarily recalled due to possible salmonella or Staphylococcus aureus contamination, according to an announcement from Pharmavite LLC on Tuesday.
Nature Made makes a wide variety of different vitamins, including adult gummies, so it’s important you don’t continue taking these.
As CNN reports, the following Nature Made vitamins are being recalled:
Nature Made Adult Gummies Multi, lot numbers 1196066, 1196071, 1205052
Nature Made Adult Gummies Multi + Omega-3, lot numbers 1173600
Nature Made Adult Gummies Multi for Her plus Omega-3s, lot numbers 1196048, 1196050
Nature Made Super B Complex w/C & Folic Acid tablets, lot numbers 1173779, 1170987, 1204735, 1173146, 1204001
"The recall was initiated after it was discovered that salmonella and/or Staphylococcus aureus testing were not completed properly on these specific batch lots," Pharmavite officials said in a press release.
Some of the telltale signs of salmonella illness include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever that begins about 12 to 72 hours after exposure to the bacteria.
While most individuals infected with salmonella will generally recover without a problem, those with weak immune systems may want to seek immediate medical attention.
Even more Nature Made products are reportedly being recalled because "there was a process breakdown that doesn't allow us to rule out the presence of other microorganisms, such as yeast," Pharmavite revealed in an email.
According to CNN, those recalled products are:
Nature Made Adult Gummies Hair, Skin, Nails, lot numbers 1198437 and 1198438
Nature Made Vitamin D 1000 IU tablets, lot numbers 1147550, 1174782, 1176755, 1140172, 1175637, 1176756, 1147978, 1147557
While the vitamins affected in the recall are expected to be taken down from the shelves immediately, it’s important to return any recalled products to the stores where they were originally purchased for a full refund.
