Warning Issued - Babynat Organic Formula
Food-safety officials have warned consumers against buying a brand of French baby formula, following the discovery of harmful bacteria in a batch in South Korea.
The Centre for Food Safety said people should not consume Babynat Organic Infant Milk, made by Vitahermine, after it tested positive for enterobacter sakazakii.

Thank you so much for posting that! Do you know how we can find updated info on this problem? Do you know how long it takes for symptoms of infection to appear?? I am so frustrated, upset and worried with these findings. I now will switch formulas again but do not know what to try next as I am worried it will harm my baby :( Nan HA1 caused constipation, this formula is bad, what next???!!!???

Yes, I also use Japanese brand - Morinoga. I choose this brand because a lot of ppl said that Japanese brand is good to minimize the constipation problem. My baby's is now 6 months old and having bowel every 2 days... so ok so far but she is only having half formula and half breastmilk.

I am using Aptamil, Milupa too...I don't get mine from bumps to babes, mine is from Wellcome - which I don't think is imported from Europe. However, it was tested by the HKG and passed all tests. My daughter 6mths is doing well so far and has 2 bowel movements a day too.
