Nestle has recalled some batches of EXPERT Pro infant formula as a result of contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii.  The formula was marketed in twelve E.U. nations.

Press reports did not indicate when the contamination was detected whether at routine in-plant quality control or by food safety agencies in nations where the product was sold.

In a related action, Mead Johnson Nutrition of Canada is recalling some batches of Enfamil brand Nutramigen A+ infant formula due to possible Cronobacter sakazakii contamination. 

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products, but given recent history, manufacturers of infant formula are exercising a high degree of caution. Manufacturers of infant formula are now aware of the dangers of Cronobacter contamination following reports of mortality in the E.U. and the U.S.  The potential pathogen can be present in the environment of a production plant resulting in intermittent contamination of product.  This requires specific sampling and quality control protocols for each production unit.
