The products have been recalled because they have insufficient chloride which can cause metabolic alkalosis, the symptoms of which are poor appetite, lethargy and constipation. If a child is profoundly perspiring or has v diarrhea and vomiting, the problem may grow worse. Mothers whose children are receiving Neo-MullSoy or CHO-Free are asked to contact their oediatriciflns at nnrp K " ? ? .. w~- . The North Carolina W1C program has issued vouchers for 272 infants for Neo-Mull-Soy. It has not issued CHO-Free vouchers. Wic programs are asked to no longer issue vouchers for Neo-Mull-Soy. Grocers are asked not to honor such vouchers. Participants who have received vouchers within the past four weeks are asked to contact their WIC program and their pediatricians to get new prescriptions. gflrlH 1 KmNPI 111 1 *
