Pharmavite LLC is recalling some Nature Made vitamins due to possible salmonella or staphylococcus contamination, the Northridge, Calif.-based company said in a press release Tuesday. Recalled products include Nature Made gummy multivitamins and supplements containing vitamin C, B vitamins and folic acid.
