According to the United States**December 31, 2023**, due to possible bacterial contamination, Mead Johnson, an infant nutrition company under the British Reckitt Benckiser Group, will voluntarily recall certain batches of infant formula in the United States. Based on the timing of the product's production and distribution, the company believes that most of the infant formula involved has been consumed, but has not yet received any reports of discomfort caused by the powder.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on December 31, 2023 that Mead Johnson has decided to recall approximately 6750,000 cans of milk powder. This milk powder was produced in June 2023 at a facility in the United States and is specifically designed for children with cow's milk allergy.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is currently testing the products and all bacterial tests have been negative so far.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said that most of the affected milk powder has been distributed and currently has limited inventory, so most of the recalled milk powder has been consumed. But so far, no food poisoning incidents have been reported.
Cronobacter can cause serious body infections or meningitis, which can also cause intestinal damage and can spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream. In 2022, there was a "milk powder shortage" in supermarkets and pharmacies across the United States, also due to the Cronobacter infection, but the FDA believes that this recall will not have a significant impact on formula milk powder**.
