A recall notice(opens in a new tab) posted to Enfamil’s website states the containers were distributed primarily in July and August 2023.
While rare, Cronobacter infections in infants can be deadly. CFIA says the bacteria can cause rare bloodstream and central nervous system infections and has been associated with blood poisoning, also known as sepsis, and a severe intestinal infection known as necrotizing enterocolitis, especially in newborns.
