Two batches of Enfamil ProSobee Simply Plant-Based Infant Formula are being recalled due to possible bacterial contamination,the FDA announcedon Monday.
Reckitt is voluntarily recalling the formula out of an abundance of caution over concerns of Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria cross-contamination, the formula manufacturer shared in a press release.
There have been no incidents of illness reported, and tests of batches have not indicated the presence of the bacteria, a germ that can live in very dry places like dry foods and can have very serious complications for infants.
According to the CDC, thoughinfections are rare, Cronobacter germs can cause a dangerous blood infection (sepsis) and can make the linings surrounding the brain and spinal cord swell (meningitis).
“ProSobee Simply Plant-Based Infant Formula in 12.9 oz containers was manufactured between August 2022 and September 2022. The products were distributed through retail stores nationwide in the U.S., Guam, and Puerto Rico,” the FDA explained in their press release.
