The recall of a Similac baby-formula powder has been expanded after the death of a second infant who was fed it, federal officials say.

Manufacturer Abbott Nutrition widened its recall of the formula, which was made at a Sturgis, Mich., factory and distributed in the US and Israel, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The move comes as the FDA said Monday that it is probing another fatal case of Cronobacter sakazakii infection involving an infant fed the Abbott Similac PM 60/40 formula with a lot code of 27032K800.

“This is a specialty formula for certain infants who would benefit from lowered mineral intake and was not included in the previous recall,” FDA officials said in a statement.

The FDA announced Feb. 17 that Abbott was voluntarily recalling certain lots of its Similac, Alimentum and EleCare formulas after four infants were sickened, including one who died.

“All five illnesses resulted in hospitalization, and Cronobacter may have contributed to death in two patients,” FDA officials said Monday. The cases were reported in Minnesota, Ohio and Texas.

Four reports of Cronobacter sakazakii — a rare bacteria that can cause several different types of infections, including severe meningitis in infants — and one report of Salmonella Newport infection have been linked to the recalled formulas.

The FDA is advising parents and caregivers not to feed infants the recalled Similac, Alimentum or EleCare powdered infant formulas. The products included in the recall have expiration dates of April 2022 or later and have digits of 22 through 37 as the first numbers of codes on the bottom of the package. Containers that include codes of KB, SH or Z2 are also part of the recall.

“In addition to products described above, Abbott Nutrition has recalled Similac PM 60/40 with a lot code 27032K80 (can) / 27032K800 (case),” the FDA said. “At this time, Similac PM 60/40 with lot code 27032K80 (can) / 27032K800 (case) are the only type and lots of this specialty formula being recalled.”

Abbott Nutrition said the expanded recall came as the company learned of the second infant’s death Monday. Customers can also check impacted lot numbers on Abbott’s website.

“This case is under investigation, and at this time the cause of the infant’s Cronobacter sakazakii infection has not been determined,” the company said in a statement. “We want to extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family.”
