Mead Johnson Nutritionals Has Recalled EnfaCareŽ LIPILŽ Infant Formula
Powder
(SafetyAlerts) - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that Mead
Johnson Nutritionals has recalled 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 the bottom, as well as consumers or health care professionals
with questions regarding this situation, may call the Mead Johnson Consumer
Resource Center at 1-888-587-7275.
