Abbott Calcilo XD Infant Formula Recalled for Compromised Can Seams
Abbott Laboratories is recalling 2,922 cans of Calcilo XD infant formula due to off color, odor, and compromised can seams that may allow air entry.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly describes a packaging defect (compromised seam) and sensory changes (off color/odor) without reporting any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
