On 20 February 2022 the Food Standards Agency (FSA)
published a product recall information notice (PRIN), which
was updated on 22 February (PRIN) for two infant formula
products used for special medical purposes, due to
concerns of possible contamination with Salmonella
Newport and Cronobacter sakazakii (formerly known as
Enterobacter sakazakii). This relates to products produced
in one manufacturing site in the USA and imported into the
UK. The recall notices provide product details and specific
batch codes – these products must not be used.
It is crucial to ensure relevant batches of these products are removed, including from
individual’s homes.
Additionally, there is need to raise
awareness among healthcare professionals who might encounter potentially
associated cases to inform clinical care, surveillance and public health
action.
