Whne the FDA warning first came out, I called MEAD Johnson provider line
to see what impact this would have on the HMF. The "expert" stated that
because of the small amount per package, there was less risk of
contamination and that even if there was contamination quote " the
antibodies in the breastmilk would nullify the contamination". Interesting
huh?
 The other good point of the FDA warning was that when I presented the
information to our risk manager, she agreed that to continue with
providing formula discharge bags to moms meant our facility would need to
keep a log of all patients, their contact and the lot numbers on all the
cans in case of recall and set up a system appointing staff to do this and
be responsible for monitoring recalls and contacting families when it
happened. The cost benefit ratio became to high to continue with these "
free gifts" and we no longer give out ANY of the discharge bags in our
post partum unit. :)
