Live Well, Work Well – What To Know About The Powdered Infant Formula Recall

If you use powdered infant formula, be aware certain Similac, Alimentum and EleCare products have been recalled and should not be used.

The FDA has published a full list of recalled brands. Recalled products should no longer be available for sale; however, check the packaging if you have them in your home to determine if they are included in the recall.

Which powdered infant formula products have been recalled?

Abbott Nutrition has recalled certain powdered infant formula products produced at its Sturgis, Michigan, facility. Products from that facility can be found across the United States, and some were exported to other countries. Here’s how you can tell if you have any of those products.

The FDA recommends consumers look at the lot code, a multidigit number on the bottom of a container of Similac, Alimentum and EleCare powdered infant formula. Do not use the product if all of the following are present:

• The first two digits of the code are 22-37
• The container code contains K8, SH or Z2
• The expiration date is 4-1-2022 or later
