Voluntary recall of single batch of Nutramigen

• All product tested by MJN was confirmed negative for contaminants.
• No illnesses or adverse consumer reactions have been reported to date.
• No Nutramigen liquid formulas or any other Reckitt nutrition products are impacted.

Ottawa, ON, December 31, 2023 -- Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN), a producer of nutrition products, announced today that it has voluntarily chosen to recall from the Canadian market a single batch of Nutramigen Powder, a specialty infant formula for the dietary management of Cows Milk Allergy (CMA) in 561g cans, due to a possibility of contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii in product sampled outside of Canada. All testing conducted to date by the FDA and Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition has been negative for Cronobacter.

Cronobacter bacteria can cause severe, life-threatening infections (sepsis) or meningitis (an inflammation of the membranes that protect the brain and spine). Symptoms of sepsis and meningitis may include poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, jaundice (yellow skin and whites of the eyes), grunting breaths and abnormal movements. Cronobacter infection may also cause bowel damage and may spread through the blood to other parts of the body.

Nutramigen in 561g containers was manufactured in June 2023 and distributed primarily in July, and August 2023. Based on the limited availability of the remaining stock of this special infant formula, it is believed that much, if not all, of the product recalled in Canada have been consumed. There are no reports of illnesses or adverse events to date. The products were distributed through retail stores nationwide. The batches in question can be identified by the batch code on the bottom of the can.

The following recalled product batch code and can size has been distributed in Canada.

• ZL3FVY (561g can)

The product has a UPC Code of 056796904985 (4-Pack case) 056796004982 (Can UPC) and “Use By Date” of “01-JA-2025”.

No other Canadian distributed Nutramigen batches or other Reckitt products are impacted.
