California-based product development company Lyons Magnus found itself in hot water after 53 of its products were discovered to be at risk of microbial contamination.

Lyons Magnus is the distributor for popular brands such as oat milk company Oatly and Stumptown Cold Brew Coffee, both of which have been affected by the recall.

According to a company press release, the drinks could contain the bacteria Cronobacter sakazakii. Although no customers have reported becoming sick, the organism can cause vomiting, fever, and urinary tract infections. Not what you want when you're reaching for that morning coffee...

The scale of the risk isn't clear, but Oatly reported on Twitter that its recall may be limited to seven batches of oat milk that were made at a single site back in April. Other beverage brands potentially affected by the contamination and being recalled include Imperial, Aloha, and Glucerna.

The latter is manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, the company that hit headlines due to the devastating baby formula shortage. More on that later...

Customers have been asked to toss products or return them to stores for a refund. King's Hawaiian is also recalling its Pretzel Slider Buns, Pretzel Hamburger Buns, and Pretzel Bites due to the products containing an ingredient supplied by Lyons Magnus.
