Dairy Manufacturers Inc. of Prosper, TX is notifying consumers about a safety issue associated with a product that is an extension of an ongoing recall.
Dairy Manufacturers Inc. initiated a recall on May 24, 2024, of Crecelac Infant 0-12 with an expiration date of Aug. 2025. The product was manufactured at D.M. Mexicana Sa De Cv in Monterey, Mexico and is part of this ongoing recall. D-M is now alerting consumers that a sample of this product has tested positive for Cronobacter spp.

Severe cases often lead to death.
