Hey friends! If you’ve been using Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder for your little one, you might want to sit down for a sec. There’s a recall on this formula due to potential bacterial contamination—specifically, a strain called Cronobacter sakazakii. Thankfully, no infants have fallen ill, and U.S. samples have tested negative for this bacteria. Still, it’s always better to be safe than sorry!

What’s the Scoop?

This recall affects over 675,000 cans of Nutramigen sold in 12.6- and 19.8-ounce sizes. If you have cans at home, check the bottom for these batch codes: ZL3FRW, ZL3FPE, ZL3FX, ZL3FQ, ZL3FMH, and ZL3FHG. You should also look for UPC codes 300871239418 or 300871239456, with a “Use By Date” of January 1, 2025. If your cans match up, it’s best to stop using them right away.
