On Wednesday, Abbott Nutrition International issued a public warning alerting the customers from buying the cans of infant’s powder formula of the Similac brand. The warning came as the Abbott Laboratories detected that there might be a beetle in the product, which according to the spokesperson of Abbott, Melissa Brotz, is ‘small’ and ‘common’.
It has been reported by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that this small common beetle might cause discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract, in case ingested. This would lead to the loss of appetite.
