"Reckitt's Nutramigen Infant Formula Recalled Due to Bacterial Contamination Risk"

Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition has issued a voluntary recall of certain Nutramigen Powder infant formula products due to potential contamination with cronobacter bacteria, which can cause severe infections like sepsis and meningitis. The recall affects 12.6oz and 19.8oz cans produced in June and distributed in the summer. The FDA has been investigating but has found no positive tests for the bacteria in the facility to date. No illnesses have been reported, and the company assures that other batches of Nutramigen formula are safe to use. This follows previous recalls by Reckitt and other companies due to similar contamination concerns.

"Reckitt's Infant Formula Recall Amid Bacterial Contamination Concerns"

Mead Johnson Nutrition has voluntarily recalled 675,030 cans of Nutramigen powdered infant formula in the U.S. due to potential contamination with cronobacter sakazakii, a harmful bacteria. The FDA has been notified of the contamination by the Israeli Ministry of Health and has stated that while no illnesses have been reported, the recall is a precautionary measure. The recall is not expected to significantly impact the U.S. supply of powdered infant formulas, and other manufacturers are being asked to help maintain a robust supply of hypoallergenic products. The FDA also reminds caregivers that powdered infant formula is not sterile and should be prepared with care.
