Warning Issued - Babynat Organic Formula

[rani]

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???!!!???

megan2008,

How about Japanese brands? I really like it and so do my babies

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.

our pediatrician recommended the Japanese brand Snowflake. has anybody used this before? if so, what did you think of it? any advice is appreciated

 

[megan2008]

.....sorry, it's not snowflake but SNOW; anyone ever heard of it or used it?

I used to use the Japanese formula called "Hohoemi" from "Meiji". I heard that it's a bit sweeter than the other japanese brands. All of my friends use the one from Meiji, so I am guessing maybe it's the best selling in Japan (at least among the ppl around me). Though it seems selling pretty expensive in HK.

I personally think all the Japanese ones (Meiji, SNOW, Morinaga, etc...) are pretty good and not so much different from one another. So I guess, as long as it's good & safe and your baby likes the taste, that's all that matters!!
