Multinational food producer Nestle has recalled some Gerber brand infant formula products as a result of possible contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii. The U.S. distributor Perrigo Company has issued a recall for Gerber Good Start Soothe, sold in Canada and the U.S. and available under the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program.
Implicated product was manufactured between January 2nd and 18th at the Gateway, Eau Claire, WI. plant purchased by Perrigo in November 2022.
There have been no reports of illness associated with consumption of the formula, but the recall is based on "an abundance of caution". Perrigo claims that every batch of infant formula is assayed to ensure nutritional quality, safety and compliance with regulatory requirements.
