In light of Abbott’s recent voluntary recall of both infant formula milk products, the company’s spokesperson has stated that the products distributed in Malaysia did not test positive for the presence of either Cronobacter Sakazakii or Salmonella Newport.
However, the company will continue testing their products.
Both Alimentum and Human Milk Fortifier are the only product range impacted and have been recalled from places where these products are mostly available such as hospitals and pharmacies.
Parents and guardians are advised to talk to their healthcare professional about suitable, alternative feeding options in the meantime.
The Abbott spokesperson added that no other Abbott nutrition products – including Similac – are impacted by the recall and consumers can continue to use these products with confidence.
For any questions on the product recall and return, parents can call Abbott Nutrition Careline at 1800-88-6233 or email at wecare@abbott.com.
