State health officials said a preliminary analysis indicated that products did not meet commercial sterility specifications.
While infection related to Cronobacter sakazakii is rare, the common symptoms of illness could include fever, vomiting, and urinary tract infection. However, vulnerable and immunocompromised populations may be more susceptible to infection. As of Monday, no illnesses or complaints related to these products have been reported.
