The FDA issued warning letters to three infant formula manufacturers as part of the agency’s ongoing commitment to enhance regulatory oversight to help ensure that the industry produces infant formula under the safest conditions possible. The three companies subject to the letters are ByHeart, Inc., Mead Johnson Nutrition (Reckitt), and Perrigo Wisconsin, LLC. The FDA claims that Actions are part of enhanced oversight and does not advise discarding or avoiding the purchase of any infant formula. The FDA inspected the facilities, issued inspection observations, and initiated recalls (in December 2022, February 2023, and March 2023) to remove products potentially contaminated with Cronobacter sakazakii from the marketplace. The firms must thoroughly conduct root cause investigations and perform subsequent cleaning and sanitation activities. @ https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-issues-warning-letters-three-infant-formula-manufacturers?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
