So typical of course. There are case reports in the literature of
babies getting meningitis and septicemia from contaminated formula.
Contaminated at the manufacturer's incidentally. Not in a third world
country, but in Holland, for example.
Does this push these neonatologists to randomly sample the formula? I
thought so.
