Baby formula got recalled from CVS in Florida and 11 other states as well as H-E-B stores

The latest infant formula recall hits the store brands of nation’s seventh largest grocer and one of the two largest national pharmacy chains.

Perrigo Company, which makes H-E-B Premium Infant Formula with Iron Milk-Based Powder and CVS Health Premium Infant Formula with Iron Milk-Based Powder, yanked 16,500 cans of formula because they have Vitamin D above the maximum allowed levels.

“For the vast majority of infants, short-term consumption of the affected lot codes is unlikely to cause adverse health implications,” Perrigo’s FDA-posted recall notice states. “In a small subset of physiologically vulnerable infants (e.g., impaired renal function), there is the potential that consumption of the recalled product could result in health complications.”
