Lyons Magnus Expands Food Beverage Recall List In Rhode Island Again

RHODE ISLAND — For a second time, Lyons Magnus has recalled more nutritional and beverage products to its recall list because of a potential microbial contamination, including from the organisms Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum, the Rhode Island Department of Health said Friday.

The recalled nutritional and beverage products were sold under the brand names: Lyons Barista Style, Lyons Ready Care, Cafe Grumpy, Tone It Up, Uproot, Organic Valley, Sated, Aloha, Rejuvenate, Optimum Nutrition, Sweetie Pie Organics, Intelligentsia, Ensure Harvest, PediaSure Harvest, Glucerna, Kate Farms, Pirq, Oatly, Premier Protein, Stumptown, and Imperial. Product details are listed in a table online.

Several products were recalled at the beginning of the month, and then more last week. The full list of recalled products can be found here.

The products were distributed nationally, including to Walmarts and BJ Wholesale Clubs in Rhode Island.

State health officials said a preliminary analysis indicated that products did not meet commercial sterility specifications.

Although Clostridium botulinum has not been found in products, consumers are warned not to consume any of the recalled products even if they do not look or smell spoiled. The list of recalled products does not include products intended for infants.

While infection related to Cronobacter sakazakii is rare, the common symptoms of illness could include fever, vomiting, and urinary tract infection. However, vulnerable and immunocompromised populations may be more susceptible to infection.

Anyone who has a recalled product in his or her possession should dispose of it immediately or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
