Botanical Labs Recalls Dietary Supplement Over Salmonella Concerns

6/13/2012 7:42 PM EST

Botanical Laboratories has issued a recall for a liquid dietary supplement over concerns that it may be tainted with Salmonella.

The recall includes 38 bottles of 33.8 oz “Digestive 3 in 1 Health” liquid dietary supplement and 275 bottles of 16 oz. “Digestive Health 3 in 1” liquid dietary supplement. The recall was ordered because an ingredient in the product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children as well as in frail or elderly people or anyone with a weakened immune system. Symptoms of Salmonella infections include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
