Perrigo has recalled one batch of premium infant formula sold at CVS and H-E-B Grocery Company as the formula may contain elevated levels of vitamin D.

The recall was issued Aug. 8 on the U.S. Food & Drug Administration website. It applies to 16,500 cans of store-brand premium infant formula with iron milk-based powder sold under the brand names CVS Health and H-E-B Baby. 

According to the recall notice, the cans contain levels of Vitamin D above the maximum level permitted. 

“For the vast majority of infants, short-term consumption of the affected lot codes is unlikely to cause adverse health implications,” the company says in the recall notice. 

“In a small subset of physiologically vulnerable infants (e.g., impaired renal function), there is the potential that consumption of the recalled product could result in health complications.”

No adverse reactions so far, company says

The recalled product was shipped to H-E-B Grocery Company LP in TX, and to CVS in the following states: Texas, Florida, California, South Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Tennessee, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Missouri. 

There have been no reports of adverse events to date attributed to the elevated levels of Vitamin D in the product, the company said. It is not currently facing legal action, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they can sometimes result in lawsuits.

Parents and caregivers who may have purchased the product should look for the recalled lot codes: T11LMYC – USE BY 11NOV2025; T11LMXC – USE BY 11NOV2025 and T09LMXC – USE BY 09NOV2025. These can be found on the bottom of the package.

Parents should contact their health care provider if they have any concerns, the company said.

Meanwhile, Dairy Manufacturers is notifying parents that a sample of one of its Crecelac infant formulas tested positive for cronobacter spp, a bacterium that can cause bloodstream and central nervous system infections, such as sepsis and meningitis. Dairy Manufacturers issued the notice June 4, 11 days after it recalled all lots of its infant formula because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did not properly evaluate them.
