The National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) asked this Wednesday (23) the collection of formulas for babies from five international brands. The decision comes after the hospitalization and death of a newborn in the United States, and an alert issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the North American food and drug regulator.
The products are from the following brands:
- Human Milk Fortifier
- Similac PM 60/40
- similac
- food
- EleCare
Anvisa published a resolution prohibiting the importation, commercialization, distribution, advertising and use of the brand’s powdered infant formulas.
“Product units must be collected with a “multi-digit number” on the bottom of the package, starting with the first two digits between 22 and 37, containing K8, SH or Z2, and with an expiration date of April 1, 2022 or later ”, explains Anvisa, according to g1.

“The recall takes place after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a regulatory agency in the United States, began an investigation into four hospitalizations of infants (infants under six months of age) with one death, following consumption of such products”, said Anvisa.
The FDA is still investigating information about four infant hospitalizations and one death that occurred after consuming the infant products. Three children were infected with the bacterium Cronobacter sakazakii and another with Salmonella Newport.
