What is the danger
The product poses a microbiological risk because the presence of mesophilic aerobic microorganisms (10 000 ufc/g) and total enterobacteriaceae (1 600 ufc/g) was detected. These counts are higher than the reference values (<1 000 ufc/g in both cases), for which reason this toothpaste may be harmful to health.
