Several batches of over-the-counter medicines sold by Caruso’s have been recalled over suspected tampering.

The exact nature and origin of the unknown capsules is yet to be determined and the risk to consumers is unknown.

“From a preliminary investigation, it appears that the unknown capsules could contain cocoa powder and probiotics,” TGA said.

“As the potential for these unknown capsules to cause harm cannot be ruled out, Caruso’s Natural Health Pty Ltd has decided to recall the affected batches and is currently investigating the problem further.”
