Consumer Kashrut Alerts

The following health alert is from the Hatzolah.org, Haaretz and 1010WINSon NOvember 8, 2003 and New Zealand Food Safety Authority on November 18, 2003.

Remedia Lt., an Israeli company partly owned by American food giant H.J. Heinz Co. has recalled Remedia Soy-Based Baby Formula called Tzimchit Super Formula after three babies died and 10 others were hospitalized with nervous system disorders that the Health Ministry said were linked to the product. The recall also affected Orthodox Jewish communities in the United States, where the soy-based formula is sold. Israeli Health Ministry officials said the revamped formula lacked Vitamin B1, or thiamine, although the packaging says the vitamin is included. B vitamins are essential for the development and functioning of the nervous system. The Israeli Health Ministry on Sunday asked all parents whose children were fed soy-based Remedia baby formula during recent months to bring these infants to a doctor to receive doses of Vitamin B-1.

The following addtional information is from the FDA on November 10, 2003.
Anyone who may have Remedia soy-based formula should not use the product and contact their pediatrician as well as the local U.S. Food and Drug Administration office or the agency’s Emergency Operations number, 301-443-1240. FDA will collect the product for testing in our laboratories.
