Walmart removes Enfamil baby milk powder from shelves after a newborn dies After a newborn in Missouri contracted a rare bacterial infection from consuming baby milk powder, Walmart removed all of the milk powder from the shelves of more than 3,000 chain stores in the United States, while merchants and health officials were still waiting for test results on the 22nd. Cornette, who was only 10 days old, died on the 18th after consuming Mead Johnson (Enfamil) newborn milk powder purchased at a Walmart store in Lebanon, Missouri. The Missouri Department of Health said a local infant was infected with Cronobacter sakazakii in the past month and has recovered. This infection in infants is very rare, with only two or three cases detected worldwide each year. Enterobacter sakazakii occurs naturally in the natural environment and in plants such as wheat and rice. However, the most disturbing thing is that this bacteria can also survive in foods such as milk powder, so manufacturers will regularly inspect their products. Walmart removed Mead Johnson infant formula from its shelves as a precaution, and the government did not order a recall of the products. The manufacturer, Mead Johnson, said inspections conducted before shipment found no infection in the batch of milk powder. A Walmart spokesperson said that people who purchased the 12.5-ounce package of Mead Johnson infant formula with lot number ZP1K7G can go to the store to request a refund or exchange. This batch of goods is not only sold at Walmart. National chain stores such as Supervalu, Walgreen, Kroger and Safeway also followed suit on the 23rd and stated that they would suspend the sale of this infant formula until the test results of the federal health department are released.
