Source: The DairyNews
Dairy Manufacturers Inc., based in Prosper, TX, has expanded an ongoing voluntary recall to include additional products due to safety concerns. The company initially initiated the recall on May 24, 2024, and has recently identified a batch of Crecelac Infant 0-12 that tested positive for Cronobacter spp., a bacterium known to cause severe infections in infants. The product in question, manufactured at D.M. Mexicana Sa De Cv in Monterey, Mexico, has an expiration date of August 2025 and was part of the batches distributed mainly in Texas during March, April, and May of 2024.
Cronobacter infections can lead to serious health issues such as bloodstream infections, central nervous system issues, and potentially life-threatening conditions like sepsis and meningitis. Infants infected with Cronobacter may exhibit symptoms including poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, jaundice, grunting breaths, or abnormal movements.
The affected Crecelac Infant 0-12 product is packaged in 12.4 oz cardboard and aluminum cans, identifiable by the batch code found on the bottom of the can. Despite the severity of the bacterium, there have been no reported injuries or adverse reactions associated with the recalled products to date.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled infant formula are urged to discontinue its use immediately and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Those concerned about potential health issues are advised to seek immediate medical attention.
For any inquiries, consumers can contact Dairy Manufacturers Inc. at 1-972-347-2341 during business hours from Monday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
The recall, including the expansion, is being conducted in collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure public safety and prevent further incidents.
