CONCORD — The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services is advising consumers not to use certain Similac, Alimentum or EleCare powdered infant formulas due to an ongoing investigation of cronobacter and salmonella infections in infants who have consumed the product.

There have been no reported illnesses in New Hampshire associated with this investigation. The FDA, CDC, and public health and regulatory officials in several states (including Minnesota, Ohio and Texas), are investigating complaints that include three reports of Cronobacter sakazakii infection and one report of Salmonella Newport infection.
