If your baby drinks formula, you very likely have a favorite brand. Sometimes this is the brand you got as samples at the hospital and just decided to stick with it. Sometimes it's a matter of trying a few different brands and formulations until you find the right one for your baby. Or, you may have a baby with a specific dietary need or allergy that requires a special formula. No matter your reasons, when you find the formula that works, you keep using it. Buying a can at a time can be expensive (not to mention impractical when you consider how much babies it!), so many families buy their brand in bulk so they never run out.

But imagine buying your go-to formula, only to discover that it's been tampered with, and now poses a very real danger to your baby. That very scenario happened recently in Florida with Enfamil formula purchased at a CVS drugstore. As a proactive precaution, CVS has removed Enfamil brand formula from shelves for the time being. Don't worry, it's not a recall. But, it's definitely a wake-up call for parents to be diligent.

Allison Denning of  Oldsmar, Florida purchased a can of Enfamil formula from a local CVS. She said the can looked fine and didn't appear to have been tampered with. But when she opened the can, she saw that the protective seal had been broken. The powder inside the can didn't resemble baby formula at all, either. Denning said the powder smelled like baking flour. She reported her concerns to CVS and the manufacturer of the formula, who sent her shipping materials so Denning could overnight them the contaminated can.

As a precaution, that CVS location pulled all the Enfamil formula from shelves. Not long after, they expanded the product removal to all stores nationwide. A statement issuesd by CVS last week said that Enfamil formula was temporarily unavailable in their stores, but that customer service team members would help customers find a suitable replacement in the meantime.

This isn't the first time baby formula has been tampered with and replaced with flour. A similar incident recently happened in Arizona, only in that case, a baby became ill after being given the fake formula. Last year, a woman in Tuscon, Arizona was charged after a baby also got sick after drinking contaminated formula. Tuscon police detailed an actual formula tampering scam that affected several cans of formula at various stores in the area. In all cases, the formula had been replaced by flour.

Right now, there's no reason to panic. Sure, it's annoying to head to CVS and find your formula brand has been pulled from the shelves! But again, this isn't a recall, and the brand can be found at other retailers. But cases like this really highlight the importance of being diligent when opening a new can of formula. Make sure the package hasn't been tampered with in any way, and if you notice anything strange about the container, the protective seal, or the contents, don't use the formula!
