An Illinois infant is recovering from the same unusual bacterial infection that caused the death of another newborn.
The Illinois Department of Public Health said Friday an Illinois infant contracted the infection Cronobacter sakazakii.
Wal-Mart pulled the Enfamil Newborn formula as a precaution on Wednesday after a Missouri newborn who consumed it died.
Walmart and health officials awaited tests Thursday on a batch of powdered infant formula that was removed from more than 3,000 stores nationwide after a Missouri newborn who consumed it died from a rare infection.
The bacteria in question occur naturally in the environment and in plants such as wheat and rice.
Walmart pulled the Enfamil Newborn formula from shelves as a precaution following the death of little Avery Cornett in the southern Missouri town of Lebanon.
The government has not ordered a recall, and the manufacturer said tests showed the batch was negative for the bacteria before it was shipped.
Additional tests were under way.
Customers who bought formula in 12.5-ounce cans with the lot number ZP1K7G have the option of returning them for a refund or exchange.
