Leave to CVS, of all places.  It used to be my go-to when it came to pharmacies.  But it's REALLY fallen in the last six to twelve months.  What a mess they've become.

@ValuSkr @There are trillions of microbes on and in everything. How this got into the product is unknown to me, but I'm glad it was caught before anyone became ill. If this was a regular thing with CVS, I'd blame them, but in this case, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until I know more.

Maybe pasteurization  would have helped to prevent this?
