A recent incident has raised concerns about the safety of probiotics. A preterm infant allegedly died after receiving the probiotic Evivo with MCT Oil. As reported by Today, the infant was born premature and the hospital had given the probiotic supplement as part of the treatment plan.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has launched an investigation into the death of the infant being linked to the use of these supplements. They also issued a warning regarding the potential risks associated with probiotics, especially in vulnerable populations like infants.
