Baby Gourmet Organic has issued a nationwide recall of its Banana raisin oatmeal organic whole grain baby cereal due to potential contamination with Cronobacter spp., a bacterium that can cause severe infections, particularly dangerous for infants.
The recall, initiated on July 20, 2024, affects the specific product identified as Banana raisin oatmeal organic whole grain baby cereal, packaged in 227 g sizes with UPC 6 28619 10003 6. The affected batches are marked with the code 24122BROAC G 2 HH,BB: 2025AL03.
Cronobacter spp. contamination poses a serious health risk, especially to newborns and infants, as it can lead to infections such as bloodstream infections, central nervous system infections, and necrotizing enterocolitis. While not commonly linked to illness in healthy individuals, Cronobacter infections can be life-threatening in vulnerable populations.
Consumers who have purchased this product are urged to:
Symptoms of Cronobacter infection may include fever, poor feeding, irritability, and jaundice in infants. If anyone suspects they or their child may have consumed the contaminated cereal and is experiencing these symptoms, they should seek medical attention promptly.
Health Canada advises that although Cronobacter contamination may not be apparent through sight or smell, it can still cause severe illness. The agency urges consumers to be vigilant and check if they have the recalled product in their possession.
