Overview

• Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition has voluntarily recalled approximately 675,000 cans of its Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder due to potential contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria.
• The recall was initiated after the Israeli Ministry of Health found the bacteria in a sample of the formula that had been exported.
• Cronobacter sakazakii can cause severe, life-threatening infections including meningitis and sepsis, particularly in infants under two months, premature babies, and those with weakened immune systems.
• No illnesses or adverse events have been reported in connection with the recalled product, and it is believed that most of the product distributed in the U.S. has already been consumed.
• Consumers who have purchased the recalled product are advised to check the batch number on the bottom of the can and dispose of any affected product, or contact Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition for a refund.
