RELATED: This One Food Is Being Pulled From Shelves Permanently. On June 14, the FDA announced that Designed by Nature had voluntarily recalled its three milk powder products: Goat’s Milk Powder, Cow’s Milk Powder, and Base Milk Powder formulas. The powdered formulas, which were sold exclusively through the Designed by Nature website, have expiration dates between May 1, 2021 and June 11, 2022 printed on the bottom of the pouches in which they are packaged. While there had been no reports of illness or injury related to consumption of the Designed by Nature milk products at the time the recall was announced, the FDA reports that there is a “possible health risk” associated with their consumption.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb According to the FDA, the Designed by Nature products are “deficient in multiple nutrients required for infant formula” and have not been tested for Cronobacter, a pathogen that can cause deadly infections in newborns.

Though the product contains “formula” in its name, Designed by Nature says it’s not suitable for all children. According to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), infant formula is “a food which purports to be or is represented for special dietary use solely as a food for infants by reason of its simulation of human milk or its suitability as a complete or partial substitute for human milk,” a standard the Designed by Nature formulas fail to meet. In the FDA notice, it is specified that the recalled formulas are neither approved nor intended for children under 12 months of age. Designed by Nature says they “intend to change [their] labeling to make it clear that these products are not intended to be used as infant formula.” If you purchased the Designed by Nature products included in the recent recall, you can email [email protected] for refund information or with questions related to the recall. Anyone in possession of the recalled products can also call Designed by Nature CEO Dara Ree at 562-354-0884 with questions. RELATED: The FDA Is Warning You Not to Eat Food Made by This One Company.
