A Bunch More Oat Milks and Coffee Drinks Are Now Part of a Major Recall [Updated]

Update, Aug. 11: The recall described below has now expanded to include additional products, among them Lyons Barista Style Sweet Cream Frappé Base, Cafe Grumpy, Tone It Up, Uproot, Organic Valley, Sated, Rejuvenate, and more. You can read the full list of recalled products and their lot codes on the FDA’s announcement here. The original article follows.

Food service company Lyons Magnus has expanded its initial recall of over 50 beverage products due to potential microbial contamination. The products subject to recall include liquid coffee drinks, protein shakes, nutritional shakes and thickened liquids, and pediatric nutritional supplements distributed starting in April 2021.

These beverages and nutritional supplements from the initial announcement earlier this month fall under popular nationwide brand names including Aloha, Glucerna, Oatly, Premier Protein, and Stumptown.

The potential contamination includes the organism Cronobacter sakazakii. According to the CDC, Cronobacter infection can be very serious for older people and people whose bodies have trouble fighting germs, like people with HIV, organ transplants, or cancer. The FDA says that while this sort of infection is rare, the common symptoms of illness could include fever, vomiting and urinary tract infection.

Although pediatric products are on the list, none of the recalled products in the Lyons Magnus announcement are ones intended for infants, i.e. under the age of 1. And while this specific recall does not include baby formula, the bacteria in question is the same one at the center of a different recall of powdered infant formula (which is still ongoing, per CNN).

To date, no illnesses or complaints related to these products have been reported. Still, the FDA says that none of these recalled products should be consumed. You should throw the product away, or you can contact Lyons Magnus to return the product for a refund.
