"Reckitt/Mead Johnson Recalls Nutramigen Infant Formula Amid Bacterial Contamination Concerns"

Reckitt/Mead Johnson has voluntarily recalled 675,030 cans of Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Powdered Infant Formula due to potential contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii, a bacteria that can cause severe infections in infants. The recall was initiated after the Israeli Ministry of Health detected the bacteria in exported products. No illnesses have been reported in the US, and the company claims that all products tested negative for the bacteria. The FDA has listed specific batch codes for consumers to check and advises discarding the affected formula. Despite the recall, the FDA does not expect a significant impact on the overall supply of infant formula.
