Products being recalled due to possible microbial contamination.
A recall warning has been issued for several powdered infant formula products sold at Shoppers Drug Mart.
According to the Government of Canada website, the chain is recalling certain Abbott-brand powdered infant formula products due to possible Cronobacter sakazakii and salmonella contamination.
Items being recalled include the following:
- 400-gram containers of Similac Alimentum Step 1 Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder.
- 658-gram containers of Similac Advance Step 2 Milk-Based Iron-Fortified and Calcium-Enriched Infant Formula Powder
- 964-gram containers of Similac Advance Step 2 Milk-Based Iron-Fortified and Calcium-Enriched Infant Formula Powder.
- 964-gram containers of Similac Advance Step 1 Milk-Based Iron-Fortified Infant Formula Powder.
The warning says the products were previously recalled on February 17th, but some were erroneously sold online.
In rare cases, Cronobakter sakazakii can cause serious or fatal infections, but it is rarely linked to human illnesses.
Salmonella can cause severe and fatal infections in young children, pregnant women, the elderly and anyone with a weakened immune system.
A food safety investigation has been launched by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
