Title: Nutramigen Infant Formula and WanaBana Puree Pouches Recalled Over Safety Concerns
Subtitle: Reckitt/Mead Johnson and WanaBana Take Action to Ensure Consumer Safety
[City], [Date] – In a recent development, leading infant formula manufacturer Reckitt/Mead Johnson has announced the recall of over 675,000 cans of Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Powdered Infant Formula products. The recall was initiated after Israeli health authorities detected the presence of Cronobacter sakazakii, a dangerous pathogen, in the formula. Recognizing the potential risks, the company is urging consumers to discontinue use of the affected formula and offering refunds for any unused cans.
Cronobacter sakazakii is known to cause severe symptoms in infants under one year old, including fever, low energy levels, and seizures. Hence, the batch numbers ZL3FHG, ZL3FMH, ZL3FPE, ZL3FQD, ZL3FRW, and ZL3FXJ of Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Powdered Infant Formula, packaged in 12.6-ounce or 19.8-ounce cans with a “use by date” of January 1, 2025, have been identified as potentially contaminated.
The company, however, took swift action to avoid any potential harm to infants. Reckitt/Mead Johnson conducted tests on samples from the implicated batch in December, and even though the results were negative, they decided to recall select batches out of an abundance of caution. This decision aligns with the company’s commitment to prioritizing consumer safety and well-being.
Meanwhile, another recall has hit the headlines as WanaBana, a renowned purveyor of healthy puree pouches, voluntarily recalled all apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches due to high concentrations of lead. Regardless of expiration dates, WanaBana is taking proactive steps to ensure customer safety.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received reports of adverse events potentially linked to the consumption of the recalled WanaBana pouches, highlighting the importance of swift action. The apple cinnamon flavor, which is no longer listed on the WanaBana website, may pose serious health risks if consumed.
Despite the recall, contaminated WanaBana pouches can still be found on store shelves at Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores. It is crucial that consumers thoroughly check packaging before making a purchase to avoid any health complications.
Both Reckitt/Mead Johnson and WanaBana remain fully committed to providing high-quality and safe products to their customers. In light of these recalls, it is vital for parents and caregivers to remain vigilant and take appropriate measures to ensure the well-being of their infants and young children.
For more information on the recalls and how to initiate a refund or return, consumers are advised to contact the respective companies directly. The safety of children remains paramount, and both companies are actively working to rectify the situation and prevent any further harm.
