For the most up to date information on the Similac formula recall visit www.ct.gov/dph/wic.

Due to ongoing formula shortage issues, we have added new formulas including formulas imported from overseas. In some cases, formula preparation instructions are different than standard US formulas. Please read formula preparation instructions closely to ensure formula is prepared per packaging recommendations. For additional questions regarding formula preparation contact your local WIC office.

Abbott has issued a voluntary recall of certain lots of 2 fl oz/59 ml bottles of ready-to-feed liquid products manufactured in Columbus Ohio including Similac 360 Total Care, Similac 360 Total Care Sensitive, Similac Special Care 24, Similac Pro-Total Comfort, Similac NeoSure, Pedialyte Electrolyte Solution.

Currently NO Connecticut WIC participants have been issued these products with WIC benefits. These products were distributed primarily to hospitals, doctor’s offices, distributors, and some retailers in the US.

If you have 2 fl oz ready to feed liquid products listed above visit 2 fl oz Recall Information (similacrecall.com). Verify if the lot number on your product is included in the recall and to determine next steps.  

Please note that it is unsafe to overdilute formula or make homemade infant formula.

We understand that this is a challenging situation and is affecting many families across the country. We are working hard to find solutions that work for our Connecticut families.
