Summary

The FDA found bacteria-contaminated water and mold at a facility making Tom’s of Maine toothpaste.

Dangerous bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Paracoccus yeei, were found in water and some toothpaste batches.

These bacteria can cause serious infections. No recalls have been issued, but the FDA has requested action from the company.

Colgate-Palmolive is working with the FDA, adding safety measures, and says its products remain safe.

    I enjoy Bones coffee, if you’d like a recommemdation. They have a sample bundle so you can try their different flavors without committing to a whole bag. Lots of coupons available online too.
