Earlier this year, Abbott initiated an infant formula recall, including Similac, Alimentum and EleCare powdered infant formula, according to a corporate release from Tammy Baumgardner, senior manager of public relations for Food City.
“We received a report from a consumer stating they recently purchased Similac Adv Complete Nutrition 12.4 oz. powered infant formula with a recalled lot code from a Food City store,” she said.
Customers who recently purchased Similac Adv Complete Nutrition 12.4 oz. powered infant formula should check their product information for the recalled lot code listed below:
- Similac Adv Complete Nutrition 12.4 oz
- UPC: 7007455958
- Lot Code; 35985K800
- Expiration Date: 1 December 2024
Consumers with Similac Adv Complete Nutrition 12.4 oz. powered infant formula matching this recalled lot code should not use the product and should immediately return it to any Food City store for a full refund.
For complete information on the Abbott recall, consumers may call Abbott at 1-800-986-8450 or visit www.similacrecall.com. The FDA is advising consumers not to use Similac, Alimentum or EleCare powdered infant formulas if:
- the first two digits of the code are 22 through 37 and
- the code on the container contains K8, SH, or Z2, and
- the expiration date is 4-1-2022 (APR 2022) or later.
At Food City, customer safety and service are our number one priority and recalls of any nature receive immediate attention.
