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.
What this means for you
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.
Plain-English summary
Abbott Laboratories is voluntarily recalling 2,922 cans of Abbott Calcilo XD, Low-calcium Vitamin D-Free Infant formula with iron. The affected product is powder in a 13.2 oz. can, with 6 cans per case, and is identified by lot number 79696K80.
The recall was initiated because of off color and odor, as well as compromised can seams caused by product powder in the seam. This poor seal potentially allowed air into the container. The product was distributed nationwide in the US, as well as in Canada and Malaysia.
