(WTAJ) — A selection of Gerber Good Start SoothePro Powdered Infant Formula has been voluntarily recalled for possible bacteria contamination.

Perrigo Company plc, who owns Nestlé’s Gateway infant formula plant in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, announced the recall of certain lots of the instant formula in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 17.

Perrigo said the recall is “out of an abundance of caution due to the potential presence of Cronobacter sakazakii.”

Cronobacter sakazakii is a common bacteria found in the environment. Most people show no symptoms but some, particularly premature infants, infants under 2 months of age or infants with weakened immune fever, might experience poor feeding, excessive crying or low energy, as well as other serious symptoms.
