Packaging Giant Lyon Magnus Recalls Millions of Nutritional Beverage Products
Packaging giant Lyon Magnus announced a voluntary recall of millions of nutritional beverage products, some popular products used as coffee creamers, for school lunches, or for tube feeding. The reason behind the recall is because of microbial contamination from the organisms Cronobacter sakazakii (the same bacterium that caused the recent baby formula recall) and Clostridium botulinum. Consumers have been warned not to consume any of these recalled products even if they do not look or smell spoiled.
Infections related to Cronobacter sakazakii are rare but include symptoms of illness including fever, vomiting, and urinary tract infection. Clostridium botulinum may cause severe food poisoning including symptoms of blurred vision, drooping eyelids, double vision, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, and muscle weakness. Additionally, Botulism poisoning can cause respiratory paralysis, resulting in death unless mechanical ventilation is provided. This is especially problematic to people who are immunocompromised or have a sensitive constitution, who may be using these products anyways as a meal replacement.
Products Recalled by Lyon Magnus
Lyon Magnus is a food service company that specializes in unique packaging for beverages. In other words, these brands are not owned by Lyon Magnus, but are packaged by this company. Most of the cartons were in 8 oz and 330 ml sizes. We’ve helped you out by placing the organic beverages first and then following up with non-organic beverages to show you what exactly has been recalled.

Better Protein Drinks in Cartons
Because most of these protein drinks are in cartons, we’ve found brands for you to purchase in the meantime while this is cleared up that have similar packaging but are not being recalled.
The brand Mamavation is going to recommend has a unique history. In a previous consumer study, we found glyphosate in their vegan pea protein products. This brand was not the only brand. There was fraudulent organic pea protein coming from Chinese manufacturers and we stumbled upon it in our consumer study. This caused a stir in the organic industry and the USDA got involved to investigate. Since then, more organic pea protein manufacturers have come online in Canada (because it seems the problem was Chinese manufacturers), and we have retested this brand and it’s passed!
Please note that we never found glyphosate in organic dairy products, only vegan organic pea protein. So if you are using organic pea protein, we’ve saved you from glyphosate contamination because it seems as if the industry has mostly cleaned itself up since our investigation, especially if they are now manufactured in Canada and not China. So here are some optional organic protein drinks you can swap with for the time being.
- Orgain Organic Nutritional Shake Vanilla Bean
- Orgain Organic Vegan Nutritional Shake Chocolate
- Orgain Organic Kids Protein Shakes
Here are some additional organic meal replacement and nutritional shakes inside cartons that are not made by Lyons Magnus. However, I just wanted you to know that we have not tested these brands for glyphosate.
- Rebbl Organic Protein Drink Chocolate
- Remedy Organic Vegan Protein Shakes
- Remedy Organic Chocolate Keto Protein Shakes
If you are looking for organic milk cartons to replace Organic Valley for the time being, here is another organic brand.
- Horizon Organic Shelf Stable Milk cartons (for lunch boxes)
- Horizon Organic Low-fat Milk cartons
- Horizon Organic Low-fat Chocolate Milk cartons

I found your article very engaging and engaging from beginning to end.

This is the great fruits juice for summer.

It’s alarming, a large quantity has been consumed and who knows, there are some other types of water that have not been tested and are still being sold on the market.
good drink, look it’s really useful!
Thank you for this article! Do you have any suggestions for protein powders/shakes without “natural flavors” listed in the ingredients?
