ALLEGAN, Mich. - Perrigo Company has issued a voluntary recall on 16,500 cans of store brand formula due to Vitamin D levels above the maximum level permitted. 

The recalled product called Premium Infant Formula with Iron Milk-Based Powder was shipped to H-E-B Grocery Company in Texas and CVS stores in several states: Texas, Florida, California, South Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Tennessee, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Missouri. No other products or retailers were impacted by this recall.

Perrigo said it has taken immediate action by notifying H-E-B and CVS directly and asking them to examine their retail and warehouse inventory and isolate the product.

According to the company, the product was shipped to stores starting in February 2024, and there have been no reports of adverse events to date attributed to the elevated levels of Vitamin D in the product subject to this recall, which was determined through routine testing.

For the vast majority of infants, short-term consumption of the affected lot codes is unlikely to cause adverse health implications, according to the company. 

 In a small subset of physiologically vulnerable infants, there is the potential that consumption of the recalled product could result in health complications.
