Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin
warns Georgians about infant formula recall
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin is notifying Georgians that three kinds of ready-to-feed infant formula are being recalled because they may not contain as much vitamin-C as indicated on the label.
The formula is sold to consumers and given to new mothers as they are being discharged from hospitals or when they visit the doctor’s office. The liquid infant formulas are packaged in 32-ounce plastic bottles. They are:
-
One lot of Similac Alimentum Advance liquid ready-to-feed infant formula (Stock Code #57512, Lot #401895V, use-by 1 May 2007 -- printed on the back of the bottle)
-
Two lots of Similac Advance with Iron liquid ready-to-feed infant formula (Stock Code #55961, Lots #40177RH and #40172RH, use-by 1 November 2007 – printed on the back of the bottle)
-
Additionally, one lot of Similac Advance Hospital Discharge Kits may have included some of the affected 32-ounce plastic bottles. The lot number for these discharge kits (Stock Code #58986, Lot #41699D5) can be found on the back of the bear tag attached to the kit.
The formulas were produced in Columbus, Ohio and are being voluntarily recalled by Abbott’s Rose Products Division.
“Consumers with these Similac products should contact Abbott’s Ross Products Division at 1-800-624-3412,” says Irvin. “Abbott will replace infant formula from these lots free of charge.”
