Abbott Voluntarily Recalls Certain Lots of Similac Infant Formula Following Discovery of Beetles

Even though our customers - mostly long-term care facilities - aren't in the market for infant formula, we know that many caregivers have kids at home, so we thought this recall was worth mentioning.

Abbott is recalling certain lots of Similac-brand powder infant formula after discovering the presence of small beetles. The beetles pose no immediate health risk, but infants who consume the affected formula might experience gastrointestinal discomfort or refuse to eat because the small insect parts irritate their GI tracts.
