Although Cronobacter is not commonly linked to human illness, in rare cases it can cause serious or fatal infections. Cronobacter can cause rare bloodstream and central nervous system infections and has been associated with a severe intestinal infection and blood poisoning, especially in newborns.
There have been no reported illnesses associated with this recall. You can find all the product information here.
