From 20th October 2008 onwards, we have changed Darius’ milk powder to Enfalac A+ (see Feeding issues).

There has been a recent article about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) finding traces of melamine Mead Johnson’s products, which includes Enfalac A+, on top of other popular infant products such as Enfapro A+, Enfagrow A+, Enfakid A+ etc.

Mead Johnson has clarified that all its products contain NO melamine, and the report issued by FDA was inaccurate (source):

EVANSVILLE, Ind., November 26, 2008 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has confirmed that no melamine has been detected in Enfamil LIPIL® infant formula products and that recent media reports indicating that trace levels were detected are inaccurate. The U.S. FDA has indicated that it will issue a statement on its website confirming these facts and it will contact key media outlets to correct the information that was erroneously reported in the media on Tuesday, November 25, 2008.

Mead Johnson Nutritionals uses a certified third-party independent laboratory to test samples of finished product and raw materials for the presence of melamine. NO melamine has been detected at any time using published U.S. FDA testing methodology.

Mead Johnson is confident in the safety of our products. We maintain stringent standards at all our manufacturing sites to ensure the high quality and safety of our products that our customers have come to expect from Mead Johnson for over 100 years.

So like the previous Similac’s case (see Similac Safe from China’s Contamination Incident), we parents can rest assured our children are consuming safe milk powders.
