Updated: Statement from Mead Johnson on Enfamil PREMIUM? Newborn Safety
Last Updated: December 23, 2011; 5:00 p.m. CT
For over 100 years, Mead Johnson has been trusted by parents and
healthcare professionals around the world to provide nutrition for their
infants and children. That trust is earned based on the knowledge
that every product we manufacture is safe and of the highest quality.
All of our infant formula products sold around the world undergo more
than 2,300 quality tests before they are shipped to retailers and
other customers. Importantly, the standards we set always meet – and
often exceed – those set by global regulatory bodies, including the
CODEX and United States Food & Drug Administration. It is for this
reason that we can say with confidence that every infant formula Mead
Johnson manufactures is safe.
As a company that is dedicated to the health and well-being of babies,
Mead Johnson is tremendously saddened by the recent death of a newborn
boy in Missouri and our hearts go out to his family.
The infant in Missouri tested positive for Cronobacter (Enterobacter
Sakazakii), a microorganism sometimes associated with rare but serious
illness in newborn babies. The health authorities are conducting an
investigation to determine the cause of the infection and are expected
to be testing a variety of possible sources. Cronobacter is ubiquitous
in the environment and can be found on clothing, bedding, infant
formula, nursery water and preparation and use surfaces. The formula
being checked is one specific batch of Enfamil Premium Newborn 12.5
ounce powder with number ZP1K7G on the bottom of the can. Our records
confirm the batch tested negative for Cronobacter when it was produced
and packaged. Further, the batches produced both before and after the
one used by the infant's family tested negative for the bacteria as
well.
We continue to cooperate with and support the FDA and other health
officials investigating the Missouri case to identify how the boy became
infected in order to help bring closure for his family. We also want to
ensure that parents, healthcare professionals, retailers, business
partners and the general public have accurate facts about the
situation.
It is important for everyone to know that none of our products have been
recalled. However, some retailers have removed batch ZP1K7G Enfamil
Premium Newborn 12. 5 ounce powder from their shelves as a precautionary
measure, until the FDA completes its investigation. Despite that
action, all of the Mead Johnson brands remain on shelf to meet the
important nutritional needs of infants and children – from our
routine nutritional products to our solutions products addressing
various allergies to our specialty products for those with serious
medical conditions and metabolic disorders.
We know that people everywhere put their faith in Mead Johnson and in
the Enfamil brand, and we take that responsibility very seriously. We
will continue to take all appropriate steps and deliver on our Mission
to nourish the world's children for the best start in life.
We are working hard to make sure that you have the information you need.
