Due to rumors of contamination, last week we saw big pull by the retailers of an infant formula from their product shelves. But recently U. S. federal health investigators have given a clearance to the suspected infant formula of bacterial contamination.

Regarding the incidence, a joint statement has also been released by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and CDC (Centers for Disease Control) late Friday, which said that post running tests upon the factory-sealed containers of the infant formula that has been produced by Mead Johnson Nutrition Co., has showed no contamination and thus has been set clear of all the charges.

The agencies have stated clearly in their statement about the test results. They added that the infant formula has shown no presence of any bacteria and thus there is no need for any recall of infant formula. Also they have once again allowed parents to continue using powdered infant formula to their baby.

The above rumors were spread after a baby was tested positive of the bacteria that has earlier also killed another one in Missouri. The news prompted all the retailers to immediately stop their sale of the Mead's Enfamil Premium Newborn baby formula, which was being said to have transmitted the bacteria Cronobacter sakazakii in the baby.

The doctors have confirmed that the third affected baby from this so-called bacterium is on a recovering side. This is being counted as the third Cronobacter-linked case in recent weeks as the second infant affected from bacteria is from Illinois and is also recovering after becoming sickened by the bacteria.

"The CDC laboratory tests of samples provided by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services found Cronobacter bacteria in an opened container of infant formula, an opened bottle of nursery water and prepared infant formula. It is unclear how the contamination occurred", the agencies said of the tests conducted after the death of Missouri baby, Avery Cornett.
