Some acidophilus drugs recalled in Canada

OTTAWA, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Health Canada is warning Canadians with milk allergies not to use several brands of acidophilus-containing health products labeled as "non-dairy."

Officials said the products contain trace amounts of milk protein, thereby posing a health risk for people allergic to dairy products.

Health Canada identified the products as "Truly Premium All Naturals Acidophilus with Bifidus," "London Naturals Acidophilus with Bifidus" (30, 90 and 180 capsule sizes), "Acidophilus with Bifidus & FOS -- Webber Naturals (60 and 180 capsule sizes) and "Rexall Pro-Biotic."

Natural Factors Ltd., the packager and labeler of the drugs, has initiated a voluntary recall of the products.
