Wal-Mart has voluntarily removed a batch of 12.5-ounce cans of Enfamil Newborn powdered infant formula with lot number ZP1K7G after a newborn Missouri boy who was fed the formula died from what preliminary tests indicate was a rare bacterial infection, the retailer said. The government has NOT ordered a recall of Enfamil Newborn powder. Manufacturer Mead Johnson Nutrition said its records showed the lot tested negative for the bacterium before it was shipped. Any questions, call the Mead Johnson hotline: 1-800-BABY-123.

It is important to remember that powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products. Concerned parents should be advised that risks of infection can be reduced by proper storage & preparation of powdered infant formula. Caregivers should always wash hands, forearms, & fingernails thoroughly before handling any feeding materials or preparing formula. All bottles, nipples, caps & rings should be washed in hot, soapy water with thorough rinsing. Before use, powdered formula should be kept dry in an airtight container with a firm cap or lid & stored in a cool, dark area. During formula preparation, bring water to a boil for 2 minutes & allow water to cool before mixing with powder. Formula should be prepared in small amounts immediately before feeding time to minimize the need for storing reconstituted formula. If storing is necessary, reconstituted formula should not be stored at room temperature for more than one hour or more than 4 hours in the refridgerator after preparation.

**UPDATE**

On December 30, Mead Johnson Nutrition was notified by the FDA and CDC that they had completed their testing of all formula samples collected from the company and that their results confirmed that the Enfamil formulas were safe, and no presence of Cronobacter (Enterobacter sakazakii) was detected. The testing conducted by the two agencies on Enfamil PREMIUM Newborn formula related to two health investigations in Missouri and Illinois. These were the only two cases in which any Enfamil product was fed to the infant. Since Cronobacter is ubiquitous in the environment, proper formula handling and preparation by infant caregivers is important.

Mead Johnson wants to continue to provide you with the information you need to address your concerns. If you have any questions, please contact Medical Services Team at MJMedicalAffairs@mjn.com or 812-429-6399.
