EnfaCare® LIPIL® Infant Formula Powder Recall
Mead
Johnson Nutritionals, in keeping with our commitment to provide safe and
healthy nutritional products, is initiating a voluntary recall of 505 cases of
EnfaCare LIPIL 12.9 ounce powdered infant formula. The cases and cans are coded
BME01, with an expiration date of January 1, 2004 (embossed 1JAN04). This
voluntary recall is being initiated because the product is contaminated with Enterobacter
sakazakii (E. sakazakii). E. sakazakii, commonly found in the
environment, is a food-borne pathogen that can, in rare cases, cause sepsis
(bacteria in the blood), meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain),
or necrotizing enterocolitis (severe intestinal infection) in newborn infants,
particularly premature infants, or infants with weakened immune systems. We are
unaware of any reports of illness associated with E. sakazakii as a
result of feeding infants product from batch BME01; however, product from batch
BME01 should not be used.
EnfaCare
LIPIL is a formula for infants with conditions such as prematurity. Five
hundred five cases from this batch were shipped to hospitals, retail stores and
WIC clinics nationwide during December 2002. No other batches of EnfaCare LIPIL
are affected.
Parents
who have EnfaCare LIPIL infant formula powder with batch code BME01 embossed on

regarding this situation, may call the Mead Johnson Consumer Resource Center at
