Tom’s of Maine, the folksy, naturally sourced toothpaste of crunchy-granola-types everywhere, has a problem that, on the whole, seems to fit a brand preferred by dirty hippies. The Food and Drug Administration recently admonished the company after a government inspector found evidence of multiple bacteria in the company’s products and at one of its factories.

FDA's warning about multiple types of bacteria and "a black mold-like substance" found in a facility that makes Tom's of Maine toothpaste has consumers worried about a possible recall.
