The Ministry of Health & Wellness would like to notify the public of a recent infant formula recall issued by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday, 10 January 2024.
The Nutramigen hypoallergenic infant formula product manufactured by Reckitt/Mead Johnson nutrition has been recalled due to routine sampling operations identifying the presence of Cronobackter sakazakii, an opportunistic bacteria that can live in very dry places (such as powdered formula) that can cause severe infections in infants.
The FDA advisory states that the voluntarily recalled Nutramigen product was manufactured between June 6, 2023, and June 29, 2023, and includes the following batch numbers:
• 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 products have a UPC Code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and “Use By Date” of 1 January 2025.
This recall applies to products imported not only from the United States, but also the United Kingdom, Europe and the Caribbean region. The public is reminded to dispose of recalled products properly so that no persons or animals can access it.
