HONG KONG - The Centre for Food Safety is advising parents to stop feeding their babies the formula Babynat Organic Infant Milk which has been found to have batches contaminated with the Enterobacter sukiyaki bacteria.
“Symptoms [of infection] include poor feeding response, irritability, jaundice, grunting respirations and unstable body temperature, with infection progressing to meningitis in a large number of neonatal cases,” according to information provided by Ecolab, a St. Paul, Minn.-based provider of cleaning, food safety and health protection products and services for the hospitality, foodservice, healthcare, and industrial markets.
