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.
