FDA and CDC Confirm Infant Formula is Safe

In a joint statement released on December 30, 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC) said tests of factory-sealed containers of the formula, made by Mead Johnson Nutrition Co., showed no traces of the bacteria Cronobacter. Federal health investigators cleared the infant formula of suspected bacterial contamination that last week prompted retailers to pull a batch of the product from their shelves.

"Based on test results to date, there is no need for a recall of infant formula, and parents may continue to use powdered infant formula, following the manufacturer's directions on the printed label," the agencies said.
