Gerber: Recalled Gerber baby formula was sent to U.S. retailers after recall began, wholesaler says

A Gerber infant formula was recalled earlier this year over potential contamination of Cronobacter sakazakii, a bacteria that could cause life-threatening infections in infants. However, the recalled product was distributed to retail stores across eight states beyond the start of the recall, cooperative food wholesaler Associated Wholesale Grocers said in an announcement published by the U.S. Food and Drug Adminstration this week. The recall, which was initiated by the Perrigo Company in March, impacted Gerber Good Start formula manufactured between Jan. 2 and Jan. 18 at Perrigo's Eau Claire, Wisconsin, facility.
