According to the FDA, Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition (“MJN”) has recalled certain batch/lots of Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder products from the American marketplace due to possible Cronobacter sakazakii (formally known as Enterobacter sakazakii) contamination. As a result of this reported defect, you should neither serve nor consume the recalled Powdered Baby Food products identified above.

In this case, this recall was initiated after a possibility of contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii in product sampled outside the United States was found. The company says all Baby Formula sold in the US was tested by MJN and found negative for the bacteria.

==> For information about Cronobacter sakazakii, please consult the “Illnesses” tab on this site, located at the top of this page.

==> Never depend on your senses of sight, smell, taste or touch to confirm food poisoning, adulteration or contamination. If in doubt about the safety of any food, return it to your retailer for refund or toss it out in your household garbage, making sure neither small children nor household pets can access the suspect food.

Proposed Remedy:
If you believe you have purchased or have in your possession any of the recalled Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder products, please do not consume them directly nor use them as an ingredient in another dish or preparation. Instead, return the product to the store where you purchased it for a full refund.

==> If you have a medical emergency, please contact 9-1-1, your closest hospital or emergency center equipped to properly treat bacterial poisonings such as Cronobacter sakazakii.
