Designed by Nature of California is recalling its Goat’s Milk Powder, Cow’s Milk Powder and Base Milk Powder formulas with an expiration date between May 01, 2021 thru June 11, 2022. The company intends to change its labeling to make it clear that these products are not intended to be used as infant formula.
There are no reports of injury or illness to date from the products.
The company is advising parents and caregivers of infants 12 months and younger to not use these products because they are deficient in multiple nutrients required for infant formula, and the products have not been tested for the presence of Cronobacter, a pathogen that can be particularly dangerous to infants and is required testing for powdered infant formula.
