According to the notice issued by the general administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine of China in March 2018, the infant formula milk powder imported by the eu confirmed the detection of sakazakibacterium. The products were reportedly exported to China, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia and other countries and have been recalled. The text reads as follows:

"Recently, the eu food rapid alert system, a Dutch infant formula powder production enterprise found in the self-inspection using a group of suspected by e. e. coli contamination of whey powder, lead to three brands, five batches of infant formula powder (see annex), e. e. coli contamination risk, related products have been exported to countries such as China, Vietnam and Saudi Arabia. The company has recalled or voluntarily destroyed relevant batches of products.

Aqsiq attaches great importance to this and immediately organizes the verification after receiving the notification from the eu. It is known that the eu report involved products, exports to China for Lypack (registration number NL Z0238 EC) production of embellish bei infant formula powder (Rearing Baby), production batch number is 0000011087 and 0000011079. The goods are under the supervision of the warehouse at the port and have not yet entered the circulation field. The inspection and quarantine bureau will handle the goods according to law. Other batches of products suspected to be contaminated have not been exported to China.

This isn't the first time baby powder has been shot by the bacterium.

In March 2018, South Korea recalled products for infants and young children found to have enterobacter sakazakii

Enterobacter sakazakii was detected in gabelli's milk powder in May 2017

In March 2017, enterobacter sakazakii was detected in the products of hengxin lejian

Earlier this year, enterobacter sakazakii was a regular on the list of products that failed spot checks.

Reported in March 2016, the state administration of food drug safety: the agency on the tissue sampling in February 194 batches of infant formula powder found that do not conform to the national food safety standards, there is the sample of the food safety risk 2 batches, one batch is shaanxi red flag dairy science and technology co., LTD. The production of intellectual infant formula milk powder detection e. sakazakii sheep.

In November 2016, published by the state food administration of drug safety unqualified 2 batches of infant formula powder, unqualified reason of e. sakazakii detection, respectively: the hulunbuir obi plus dairy co., LTD. Production of tian to extreme infant formula milk powder, hulun buir friendship dairy (group) co., LTD. 1952 infant formula milk powder production of friendship.

The next question is, what is enterobacter sakazakii? How dangerous? And why?

Enterobacter sakazakii, a member of the enterobacteriaceae family, was renamed enterobacter sakazakii in 1980 by the yellow furrow enterobacter bacillus. Even in very low water content environment, such as milk powder, starch, tea, they can survive. It can cause severe neonatal meningitis, enterocolitis and bacteremia, with a mortality rate of more than 50 percent. In short, it is a very dangerous pollution source for infants and young children.

However, such pollution sources are generally rare in milk powder, and the reasons for the appearance in the finished products can be determined to be caused by the uncontrolled production process or inadequate sterilization process. Under the good enterprise production standard, it is almost impossible to appear. The contamination in the production process should be the first thing to be checked for the successive five batches of bacteria reported in this batch.

     Therefore, I would like to remind you that you should not blindly choose imported milk powder. For the health of your family and your baby, you should choose some safe food that meets the national standards.
