Hey there, friends! So, a quick heads-up if you have any little ones at home. Abbott has decided to pull back a small batch of their ready-to-feed Similac formula. They’ve identified that some of the 2-ounce bottles might have caps or seals that weren’t secured properly. Yikes! It’s always better to be safe, right?
The recall affects less than 1% of the 2-ounce bottles, and most of these products were sent to hospitals, clinics, and retailers across the U.S. Abbott has reassured us that this represents just a tiny fraction of the total infant formula used in the country—less than a single day’s worth of formula. They’re still producing Similac on a different line, so there’s no reason to panic about the overall supply.
If you have any of these bottles stashed away in your cabinets or diaper bags, it’s worth checking them out.
