THE Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has confirmed receiving 25 reports related to the voluntary recall of certain batches of Nan Optipro and Nankid Optipro infant formula products. Eighteen of the reports involve health concerns observed in infants and young children after consuming the affected products, the FDA said on Friday. Symptoms included vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other conditions, some requiring medical attention. All reports received are being evaluated to determine the appropriate regulatory actions in coordination with concerned agencies and offices to ensure proper verification and resolution, the FDA added. In addition, the FDA said that it continues to maintain close regulatory coordination with market authorization holder Nestlé Philippines Inc., which has been directed to submit regular status reports on the implementation, assessment and progress of the voluntary recall. Established procedures remain in place for the receipt, documentation, assessment and disposition of consumer complaints, including reports of suspected adverse events. Parents and caregivers are advised to closely monitor children’s health and seek medical attention if symptoms occur. Concerns may also be reported via ereport@fda.gov.ph.
