Potential Microbial Contamination Results in the Recall of Two Sunscreen Products

By: WebWire

Health Canada recently posted information about the voluntary recall of two sunscreen products sold by a beauty, cosmetic and personal care manufacturer, and retailer. The products include a broad-spectrum lip butter and a face and body sunscreen lotion.

According to the recall notice, the company recalled all lots of the two solar protection products due to quality concerns linked to deficiencies in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The notice goes on state that the microbial content/total aerobic microbial content may be out of specification in the affected lots and that consumers should stop using the recalled products.

Unfortunately, there are several microorganisms that can grow and reproduce in cosmetics, personal care items and various other consumer goods. Some of these microorganisms could pose a health concern for consumers, especially for those with a weakened immune system. Various microorganisms can also impact the quality and shelf life of countless different types of products.

Their scientists provide microbial testing for a broad spectrum of potential contaminants. These tests are available for assessing raw ingredients, production surfaces and finished products.
