Baby formula maker Reckitt Benckiser’s Mead Johnson Nutrition has voluntarily chosen to recall certain batches of baby formula powder resulting from possible bacterial contamination, in keeping with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The possibly impacted batches of Nutramigen Powder, an infant formula specially designed for kids allergic to cow’s milk, were produced in June and distributed throughout the summer.
“Based on the limited availability of the remaining stock of this special infant formula, it’s believed that much, if not all, of the products recalled in the USA have been consumed,” Reckitt said in a press release published by the FDA on Sunday.
The corporate said no “illnesses or adversarial events” have been recorded yet but urged consumers who’ve purchased Nutramigen to envision the underside of the can to see in the event that they have one among the possibly contaminated batches.
The impacted batch numbers and their corresponding can sizes are as follows:
- ZL3FHG, 12.6 oz cans
- ZL3FMH, 12.6 oz cans
- ZL3FPE, 12.6 oz cans
- ZL3FQD, 12.6 oz cans
- ZL3FRW, 19.8 oz cans
- ZL3FXJ, 12.6 oz cans
The possible bacterial infection within the product could cause potentially fatal infections like sepsis and meningitis, which frequently have symptoms like jaundice, temperature change, poor feeding, irritability, trouble respiratory and strange movements.
