As many of you may know, Similac just announced a large recall of it's powdered infant formula because of concerns with contamination (from the possible presence of a beetle). Apparently, the possible contamination occurred in one production area in a single manufacturing facility, but Abbott is acting conservatively by recalling a large amount of powdered formula.
The recall of these powder infant formulas includes:
-Certain Similac powder product lines offered in plastic containers.
-Certain Similac powder product lines offered in 8-ounce, 12.4-ounce and 12.9-ounce cans.
To immediately find out if the product in your possession is included in this recall, parents and caregivers should visit www.similac.com/recall/lookup, and type in their lot number to determine if their product is affected, or call (800) 986-8850.
No Abbott liquid infant formulas are impacted. Products not involved in the recall include all Abbott Nutrition liquid ready-to-feed and concentrated infant formulas and all powder and liquid specialty formulas, such as Similac Expert Care™ Alimentum®, Elecare ®, Similac Expert Care™ Neosure ®, Similac® Human Milk Fortifier, and metabolic formulas for inherited disorders.
