On December 31, 2023, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency recalled Nutramigen A+ LGG Hypoallergenic infant formula due to the potential contamination of some of these products with Cronobacter sakazakii. Consumption of food contaminated with this bacterium may in rare cases cause severe or fatal infections, including bloodstream, central nervous system and intestinal infections. Common symptoms of a Cronobacter sakazakii infection include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, irritability and poor feeding in babies. Newborns are particularly susceptive to illness after ingesting Cronobacter sakazakii-contaminated food products.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recalled the following products:

If you suspect illness resulting from the consumption of the recalled products, you should seek immediate medical attention.
