The FDA is urging consumers not to purchase or use certain Similac, Alimentum or EleCare powdered infant formulas produced at Abbott Nutrition’s Sturgis, Michigan, facility while it investigates four cases of Cronobacter sakazakii and salmonella Newport infections in Ohio, Texas and Minnesota.
The recall of the powder formula manufactured in its Michigan facility has an expiration of April 1, 2022, or later. No other Abbott liquid formulas, powder formulas, or nutrition products from other facilities are affected, according to the company. After inspecting the facility, the FDA said it discovered "several positive Cronobacter sakazakii results from environmental samples.
Abbott said it routinely tests for pathogens in its manufacturing facilities and "found evidence of Cronobacter sakazakii in the plant in non-product contact areas" at the Michigan facility. However, the company said it didn't find evidence of salmonella Newport but that the investigation is ongoing.
Joe Manning, Abbott executive vice president of nutritional products, said the company regrets the "concern and inconvenience" this recall causes.
