Health Canada warns of formula shortage for babies with food allergies

Abbott recalled a number of its powdered Similac products in February after four babies, two of whom died, contracted a bacterial infection thought to be connected to a formula manufacturing facility in Michigan. Tests on the products have come back negative for contaminants in question,The company had previously indicated that it could take six to eight weeks after the plant – which remains closed four months after the recall – restarts for products to make it to the shelves.

"If additional safety or supply information is identified, Health Canada will take appropriate action and inform Canadians as needed," the agency said.about the shortage should consult their family doctor or a pharmacist about their baby's needs and possible alternative products. Health Canada says parents should not use substitutes such as cow's milk, goat's milk, evaporated milk, soy or rice beverages as they are "not nutritionally complete" for an infant.
