A shocking and disturbing discovery in Texas: Mom finds worm in baby’s formula.
A Texas mom was left disgusted after discovering a worm in her 8-month-old baby’s formula. Jessica Chavez shared with KXAN how she spotted something unusual in the Enfamil NueroPro Gentlease Infant formula powder she bought on Amazon in February.
Upon closer inspection, she found a worm wriggling inside the powder. After notifying the company, Chavez received a refund, but the incident left her shaken.
Enfamil’s parent company, Mead Johnson Nutrition, stated that it is taking the issue seriously and is currently investigating the situation. In a similar occurrence, Enfamil previously recalled over 145,000 cans of its ProSobee Simply Plant-Based Infant Formula due to potential cross-contamination.

Chavez said the company is picking up the formula packets from her home this week to perform further testing.
She added that her son, Amado, is suffering from diarrhea, samples of which she plans to have tested for parasites.
“I just want it to be spread out to moms,” Chavez said of her disturbing discovery.
“It’s shocking … and … it’s really disgusting to know that there’s worms in there.”
News of Chavez’s near-miss comes amid a nationwide formula shortage that began last year and is expected to persist through the spring.
“I’m beyond struggling,” Louisiana mom of four Amber Bergeron told “Fox & Friends” in December of her efforts to keep her littlest one fed.
“I went to multiple stores [for formula], I contacted family, I contacted friends out of town,” she lamented.
