ATTENTION
On December 30, 2023, Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition announced a voluntarily recall of select batches of 12.6 and 19.8 oz. cans of Nutramigen powder infant formula due to possible Conobacter sakazkii contamination. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall, and it is likely most of the product that was distributed in the U.S. has already been consumed. Consumers, including WIC participants, who have affected product should stop using it and throw it away or contact Reckitt/Mead Johnson for a refund at 866-534-9986 or [email protected].

Subject: Voluntary Recall of Nutramigen with Probiotic LGG Powder Infant Formula Reckitt/Mead Johnson announced on December 30, 2023 that out of an abundance of caution it has chosen to voluntarily recall select batches of Nutramigen LGG powder, a specialty infant formula for the dietary management of Cows Milk Allergy (CMA), due to a remote possibility of cross-contamination
with Cronobacter sakazakii in product sampled outside the U.S. The impacted batch codes are in the list below. All product being recalled went through extensive testing by both Reckitt/Mead Johnson and the US FDA, and tested negative for the bacteria. No illnesses or adverse consumer reactions have been reported.
The select products in question can be identified by batch codes, UPC Code and a “Use By Date” shown in the list below, which are also located on the bottom of the product can.

No other Nutramigen powder batches, Nutramigen Ready to Use, Nutramigen concentrate, or any other Reckitt/Mead Johnson formula products are impacted.
Reckitt/Mead Johnson does not expect this voluntary recall to have any additional impact on future supply. We will continue to produce all Nutramigen products at full capacity. It is believed that much, if not all, of the affected batches of product have been consumed without any reports of illnesses or adverse events. If parents have any questions, they should consult with their healthcare provider or contact us at 866-534-9986 24/7 or by [email protected].
Reckitt/Mead Johnson is committed to the highest level of quality and safety, and it is for this reason that we have taken this extraordinary measure. The health and safety of infants is our highest priority. All of our products undergo rigorous and industry-leading quality tests and checks to ensure that they meet or
exceed all standards set by regulatory bodies.
