Farmalac Baby Formula Recall in Texas
In May 2024, a baby formula recall was announced by Dairy Manufacturers Inc., a company based in Prosper, Texas.
Label Information for Recalled Infant Formula
The recall involves all cans and lot codes of the following products:
- CRECELAC INFANT Powdered Goat-Milk Infant Formula with Iron 0 to 12 months – Net Wt. 12.4 oz (352g)
- Farmalac BABY Powdered Infant Formula with Iron 0 to 12 months Net Wt. 12.4 oz (352g)
- Farmalac BABY Powdered Infant Formula with Iron Low Lactose 0 to 12 months Net Wt. 12.4 oz (352g)
Did Any Babies Get Sick?
No illnesses were reported, but Dairy Manufacturers updated the baby formula recall after a can of Crecelac Infant Formula tested positive for Cronobacter, a bacteria that can be deadly for infants.
Signs & Symptoms of Cronobacter Infections in Babies
Symptoms of Cronobacter infection in infants may include poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, jaundice, grunting breaths, or abnormal body movements. According to the FDA warning:
Cronobacter is a bacterium that can cause bloodstream and central nervous system infections, such as sepsis and meningitis, respectively. Complications from Cronobacter infection in infants can include brain abscess, developmental delays, motor impairments, and death.
What Happened?
Dairy Manufacturers Inc. sold Crecelac and Farmalac Infant Formula in Texas (and possibly other states) without complying with the FDA’s infant formula regulations.
The manufacturer never submitted the mandatory premarket notification, so the recalled infant formula was never evaluated by the FDA to determine whether it meets the U.S. standard for food safety and nutrition.
What is Cronobacter?
Cronobacter is a type of bacteria that can survive in very dry foods, such as powdered infant formula. Cronobacter infections can be very serious for babies, especially premature infants, and those with certain health problems.
What is the Risk?
Some of the risks of a Cronobacter infection include:
- Meningitis
- Sepsis (bloodstream infection)
- Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)
- Intestinal damage
- Brain abscess
- Developmental delays
- Motor impairments
- Death
