Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Microbiologics Inc Lyfo Disk, Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni derived from Atcc recall: Affected units may fail to recover the target microorganism Campylobacter

Recall published 10 months ago

Affected units may fail to recover the target microorganism Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni derived from ATCC 29428.

The hazard: Microbial contamination

This recall is a contamination finding. The product may be perfectly normal to look at, because testing — not appearance — is what caught it.

What the notice says: Affected units may fail to recover the target microorganism Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni derived from ATCC 29428.

Why it matters: The product was found, or is suspected, to carry a harmful micro-organism. The agency notice names the specific organism and that detail matters, because the illness it causes and the people most at risk differ from one to the next.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Most foodborne infections cause stomach cramps, diarrhoea, nausea and sometimes fever, starting anywhere from hours to weeks after exposure depending on the organism. See a doctor for a high fever, bloody diarrhoea, vomiting that stops you keeping liquids down, diarrhoea lasting more than three days, or signs of dehydration. Infants, pregnant people, adults over 65 and anyone immunocompromised should seek advice earlier.

What to do about Contamination

Microbiologics Inc — This recall is a contamination finding. The product may be perfectly normal to look at, because testing — not appearance — is what caught it.

  1. Stop eating it and keep it separate from other food.
  2. Bag and bin it, or return it to the store for a refund.
  3. Clean and sanitise the fridge shelf, container or surface it was stored on.
  4. Read the official notice for the organism named — the advice for Listeria, Salmonella and hepatitis A is not the same.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
