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.

    What is it with all this regulation? I’ll be so happy when people are free to make their own choices based on myth and legend

      Check out your local roasters! After you ask what toothpaste they use, they might also be able to help with your coffee problem.
