On December 1, 2021, Livia Global, Inc voluntarily recalled two lots of its liquid probiotics, one for humans and another for dogs and cats, due to the possibility of contamination by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

“Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a microorganism found in the environment that, if ingested, can cause life-threatening infection in immunocompromised individuals,” states the FDA.
