According to the manufacturer, Bacillus cereus is a bacteria that can cause two kinds of foodborne illnesses, both related to gastrointestinal issues.
The first illness is marked by nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps that begin anywhere from one to six hours after consuming the contaminated product.
The second illness, which tends to begin eight to 16 hours after consuming the contaminated product, is marked by stomach cramps and diarrhoea.
Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to the use of this product.
“Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term illness, exposure to high levels of foodborne B. cereus can cause death,” the announcement stated.
Consumers may also contact the Prices and Consumer Affairs Division at 462-4347 or [email protected] for additional information or assistance.

Stop using it immediately—that recall could save lives.
Me checking the medicine cabinet now—better safe than sorry.
Thanks to FDA and Medtech for acting—now our turn to check and return.
Even adults shouldn’t ignore food-borne illness from bad products.
I literally had a bottle of it!!! Same code on the bottom of the box. Shocked. Thankfully I have my daughter some last year and it was sitting on the shelf still. Scary.
