Asda
Abbott has taken the precautionary step of recalling various batches of Elecare Similac and Alimentum Similac infant formula powders because of the possible presence of salmonella and cronobacter sakazakii.
Both products are foods used for special medical purposes for infants, ordinarily to be used under medical supervision.
Symptoms caused by salmonella and cronobacter sakazakii usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps, although in severe cases may lead to sepsis or meningitis which include symptoms in infants including poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, jaundice (yellow skin and whites of the eyes) and abnormal breaths and movements.
In a statement to the ECHO, Abbott said: "“We value the trust parents and caregivers place in us, and ensuring the safety and quality of our products is our top priority.
"As part of Abbott's quality processes, all infant formula products are tested for Cronobacter sakazakii, Salmonella and other pathogens, and they must test negative before any product is released.
"Importantly, no distributed product has tested positive for the presence of either of these bacteria, including retained samples related to the four U.S. complaints, and we continue to test."
