Purpose

The FDA advises parents and caregivers of infants to stop using homemade infant formula from Plug Heist Trap House.

Homemade infant formulas have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety and may lack nutrients vital to an infant’s growth.

FDA Actions

The FDA conducted an investigation earlier this week at the location of the firm, a home residence. The firm committed to no longer manufacturing and selling the product.

Recommendations for Consumers

Parents and caregivers of infants who have purchased this product should discontinue use and throw it away.
