Abbott has recalled a number of Similac and Isomil infant formula powders after evidence of a "...small common beetle was found in the product produced in one production area of a single manufacturing facility." That facility is located in Sturgis, MI.
The Food and Drug Authority of Saudi Arabia has learned that Abbott shipped 4 cartons (24 cans/carton) of recalled Similac powder to private customers in the Kingdom.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is monitoring the recall situation and advises that, to the best of its knowledge, none of the recalled products were imported into Canada.
The Taiwan Department of Health also confirms that none of the recalled infant formula powders were shipped to Taiwan.
Abbott did not provide a list of retailers who were supplied with the recalled infant formula powders.
Following is a complete list of recalled Similac and Isomil infant formula products. These products are sold in various package sizes. Abbott has provided a search feature on its recall web site, so that consumers can determine whether the product they have purchased has been recalled. The affected lot numbers also can be found on the 38-page list released by Abbott. FDA has posted a searchable database page, and the California Department of Public Health has posted a complete list of stores in the state where the recalled products were sold.
