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:

12.6 oz cans
ZL3FHG
12.6 oz cans
ZL3FMH
12.6 oz cans
ZL3FPE
12.6 oz cans
ZL3FQD
12.6 oz cans
ZL3FXJ
19.8 oz cans
ZL3FRW

The products have a UPC Code of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and “Use By Date” of “1 Jan 2025”. No other U.S. distributed Nutramigen batches or other Reckitt products are impacted.

Please contact Reckitt/Mead Johnson at 866-534-9986 or [email protected] for return instructions and replacement product.

Work with your doctor to find the best alternative formula for your infant. Alternative formulas are: Similac Alimentum or Nestle Health Science Extensive HA.

Mead Johnson does not expect this recall to impact current supply. As a reminder, if participants are having trouble finding Nutramigen on store shelves, they may obtain a prescription for an appropriate formula or a store brand hypoallergenic formula.

The store brand Hypoallergenic Powder Formulas include: Walmart Parents Choice Hypoallergenic, Meijer Hypoallergenic, and Kroger Comforts Hypoallergenic.
