CDC currently recommends that Solgar ABC Dophilus Powder, a dietary supplement, should not be used.
CDC, FDA, and state health departments are investigating a fatal case of gastrointestinal mucormycosis  caused by Rhizopus oryzae in a premature infant in October 2014. Infection followed the use of ABC Dophilus Powder, a dietary supplement purchased from Solgar, Inc., Leonia, NJ.
Testing of the same lot of unopened Solgar ABC Dophilus revealed contamination with Rhizopus oryzae. The source of contamination is still under investigation.
