Reckitt Recalls Plant-Based Infant Formula
A baby formula company, Reckitt, Reckitt has recalled two (2) select batches of ProSobee 12.9 oz. Simply Plant-Based Infant Formula due to a possibility of cross-contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, Cronobacter is a germ that is found naturally in the environment.
Cronobacter can live in dry foods, like powdered infant formula, powdered milk, herbal teas, and starches.
It has also been found in contaminated feeding items like breast pump equipment.
Cronobacter infections are often very serious for babies who are younger than 2 months or were born prematurely; they can die.
Infections can also be very serious for older people and people whose bodies have trouble fighting germs, like people with HIV, organ transplants, or cancer.
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.
The batches in question can be identified by a “Use By Date” of “1 Mar 2024.”
The recall involves approximately 145,000 cans.
No other ProSobee Simply Plant-Based Infant Formula batches or other Reckitt products are impacted.
The company said no illnesses or adverse events have been reported.
