"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.
