The formula continued to be sold in eight states despite the Food and Drug Administration issuing a recall in March.
The Food and Drug Administration said that recalled Gerber baby food continued being distributed after a recall was initiated in March.
The FDA reiterated the recall notice this week of certain lots of Gerber Good Start SootheProTM powdered infant formula. The formula was manufactured at the Company’s Gateway Eau Claire, Wisconsin, facility from Jan. 2 through Jan. 18. The recalled formula was sent to Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc.'s Nashville Division retailers following the recall. The recalled products may have then been sold at retailers in eight states: Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
The recalled products may contain Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria, the FDA said. Cronobacter sakazakii doesn’t always cause symptoms. Premature infants, infants under 2 months old, and infants with weakened immune symptoms are at greatest risk of illness. Fever, poor feeding, excessive crying or low energy are among some of the common symptoms. Gerber said that it has not gotten any reports of illnesses and none of the products have tested positive for Cronobacter sakazakii.Those with recalled products should stop using them immediately. Consumers can call 1-800-777-7690 for refund information.
