Health Canada has updated a food recall warning issued on September 23, 2018 to include additional product information. This additional information was identified during the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) food safety investigation in collaboration with Abbott.
Abbott is recalling 18 Abbott brand formulated liquid nutrition products in 235 mL metal cans from the marketplace due to possible bacterial contamination. Consumers should not consume and distributors, retailers and food service establishments such as hospitals and nursing homes should not sell or use the recalled products described below.
While there has only been one reported illness associated with the consumption of these products all consumers are being urged to check to see if you have recalled products in your home. Recalled products should be returned to the store where they were purchased.
This recall was triggered by consumer complaints. The CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products.
