       Aug 30 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
issued warning letters to three infant formula manufacturers
following inspections at their facilities over the last few
months.
    The regulator issued these letters to ByHeart Inc, Reckitt
Benckiser Group's  RKT.L  Mead Johnson Nutrition and Perrigo's
 PRGO.N  Wisconsin unit.
    At the time of each inspection, the FDA issued observations
and oversaw each firm as they initiated recalls between December
and March to remove products potentially contaminated with the
bacteria cronobacter sakazakii, the agency said. 
    "The agency is not aware of any distributed product where
contamination was confirmed and believes that the recalls were
effective in removing the potentially contaminated batches of
product from the market," the FDA said.
