A recall has been issued for Similac Infant Formula following a possible insect contamination. The voluntary action affects up to 5-million Similac-brand powder formulas sold in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and some Caribbean countries. The drugmaker company, Abbott Laboratories said the product may contain a small beetle or larvae, which could cause stomach ache and digestion problems. The insects were discovered last week in a Michigan manufacturing plant. Company officials have determined there was no “immediate health risk” from the contamination. The affected products were sold in plastic containers and various can sizes, including 8-ounce, 12.4 ounce and 12.9 ounce. Consumers are being notified to enter the lot number on their containers online to determine if they are subject to the recall.
