Similac Human Milk Fortifier Powder recall

Recalled by Abbott Nutrition · Columbus, OH, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

Abbott Nutrition (AN) recalled this product from the Canadian market because some of the packets may have an incomplete seal which could allow air to enter the packet causing food oxidation and/or the powder to leak

These are failures of the safety steps that keep food safe - cooking, pasteurising, keeping cold, sealing - even when no contaminant has yet been found. All processing & sanitation problems recalls.
