 About Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that usually causes rapid food poisoning symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, retching, abdominal cramping, and prostration. In more severe cases, headache, muscle cramping and transient changes in blood pressure and pulse may occur. Recovery generally takes two days, and everyone is susceptible. While it is rare, some people have died from such infections, particularly the elderly, infants, and those who were severely debilitated.

I thought this industry was unregulated?

Sure, I know people who test their pills before buying en masse and reselling.

If you buy a nutritional supplement and the company knowingly cut it with a harmful substance, are they to blame for any negative consequences?  Or does the responsibility to test & perform other due diligence lie solely with the end consumer?

The nutritional supplement company is entirely unregulated in the US, mind you.

Most US supplement companies say made in the US using “internationally sourced ingredients”!  ;)
