I agree with you charline .If you want to be sure that your similac is OK, check the production number on their site:

http://similac.com/r...

As i have twins i checked with Qatar Distributor and Abbott hot line and they confirmed that Qatar and gulf products ireland manufactured not USA and not affected .

IO checked again with my Doctor her in Qatar and he confirmed the same .

Please send me Ur doctor name and his contact number to get more advise.

I just was in carrefour city center this afternoon and the similac is available there. I dont think if one carrefour recalled it the others won't. stop your lies and as we can see from your tracked messages that you have a competing milk. so stop this nonsense

If anyone has Similac products, you can check whether yours has been affected by the recall - follow this link: http://similac.com/recall/lookup.aspx I checked mine and mine were fine...however, I'm trying to confirm that this is for ALL similac products - wherever it's manufactured (Ireland for the products I use).

Visit Abbott website http://similac.com/recall/Default.aspx and you enter the code of your Similac box to check if it is ok :

http://similac.com/recall/lookup.aspx

For info : Abbott is recalling these products following an internal quality review, which detected the remote possibility of the presence of a small common beetle in the product produced in one production area in a single manufacturing facility. The United States Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) has determined that while the formula containing these beetles poses no immediate health risk, there is a possibility that infants who consume formula containing the beetles or their larvae, could experience symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort and refusal to eat as a result of small insect parts irritating the GI tract. If these symptoms persist for more than a few days, a physician should be consulted.
