Baby formula recall...

If there are any babies in your family or among your friends...make sure the parents know about these recalls...

Abbott Nutrition recalled another lot of powdered baby formula after a Michigan baby who used it contracted a serious infection and died, the Food and Drug Administration announced in an update Monday.

The formula, Similac PM 60/40 with the lot code 27032K80 for cans and 27032K800 for cases, expands the list of recalled formulas all manufactured at Abbott's Sturgis, Michigan facility. On February 17, the company recalled select lots of Similac, Alimentum, and EleCare formulas.

The recalls are related to four reports of Cronobacter sakazakii infections and one Salmonella infection that resulted in hospitalizations. The Cronobacter infections "may have contributed to death in two patients," the FDA said.

Along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the agency is investigating the cases and advising parents not to use the recalled formulas, not to dilute or make their own formula, and not to buy imported formulas.

Is it my imagination or is there more recalls on baby formula and food than there used to be?
It seems to be as bad as salad mix recalls anymore......

I just hope no more babies get sick & die...or no more adults either from the salad mixes.

It's due to how many of our foods are grown & produced now.  Not like they used to be in the "old" days.  Also, the varieties of our fruits & vegetables & other staples (wheat/bread) have changed over the years too....gotta have a higher yield so they can make more $$ to pay for those bigger machines & the fancy vacations, etc.!
