The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers to avoid some of the powered infant formula products produced at a Abbott Laboratories’s facility in Michigan after receiving reports of bacteria infection in four babies.
The warning on some of the Similar, Alimentum, or EleCare formulas made at its plant in Sturgis came after four complaints of cronobacter sakazakii or salmonella newport in Minnesota, Ohio and Texas. All four babies were hospitalized and one died, the FDA said.
