The U.S. FDA has announced a recall of certain batches of Nutramigen Powder baby formula due to potential contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii, a bacterium that can cause severe infections in infants. The recall by Mead Johnson Nutrition affects 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans distributed to U.S. retailers.

The recall is a precautionary measure to ensure infant safety.
