Nutramigen Powder Infant Formula Recall

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, 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 Mead Johnson and the US FDA, and tested negative for the bacteria. No illnesses or adverse consumer reactions have been reported.

Nutramigen in 12.6 and 19.8 oz containers was manufactured in June 2023 and distributed primarily in June, 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 products recalled in the United States have been consumed. 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 batch codes for the recalled products are provided in table below:

 If you have product that is affected by the recall, you may be able to exchange it for unaffected product of the exact same brand, type, and size at the store where you initially purchased the product. You cannot exchange the product for cash, store credit, or a different formula.

The current supply of Nutramigen Powder is not impacted. However, if you have questions concerning this recall (including changing your formula benefits), or if you are unable to exchange affected product, please contact your local WIC clinic.
