Episode 382: #89-1 Infant Formula: Regulations & Safety

American Academy of Pediatrics, Utah Chapter — Tue, 05 May 2026 04:00:00 +0000

This month we turn our focus to infant formula and nutrition, beginning with a discussion of formula safety and supply. In this episode, our host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Steve Abrams, MD revisit Operation Fly Formula and the broader challenges of maintaining a safe and reliable formula supply in the U.S. We review safety concerns related to contamination - including bacteria, viruses, and rare but serious risks such as botulism - and discuss why recalls, while essential, can be complex for both families and providers to navigate.

The conversation also explores differences between liquid and powdered formulas, with an emphasis on preparation practices and how improper bottle hygiene can increase contamination risk. We highlight current FDA guidance on boiling and cooling water for formula preparation and provide practical tips for counseling families. Importantly, our guests strongly caution against homemade formula and offer strategies for pediatricians to have clear, supportive conversations with caregivers.

Finally, we touch on concerns about heavy metals in infant nutrition, including ongoing efforts such as the Closer to Zero initiative, and what clinicians should know when addressing parent questions about safety and quality.

American Academy of Pediatrics, Utah Chapter — Tue, 13 May 2025 04:00:00 +0000

This week on The Virtual Curbside, we’re talking about one of the most practical tools in pediatric emergency preparedness: simulations. From front desk protocols to medical assistant roles and procedure planning, simulations help ensure every member of the care team knows what to do - and has what they need - when seconds count. Host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP, and guest Stephanie Spanos, MD, explore how to run effective simulations, evaluate your equipment (especially for pediatric-specific needs), and build muscle memory that can save lives. Learn why practicing together matters more than perfection, and how letting go of the need to “know and do it all” as the doctor makes your office stronger and safer.

Episode 165: #38-BONUS: Formula Recall

American Academy of Pediatrics, Utah Chapter — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 22:44:49 +0000

BONUS EPISODE: Formula Recall discussed with Steven Abrams, MD and Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP

Abbott Nutrition announced a voluntary recall of infant powdered formula manufactured at their Sturgis facility in Michigan, including Similac, Alimentum, and EleCare. This recall comes after four consumer complaints related to Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella. Parents and caregivers of infants who have used these products and have concerns about the health of their child should contact the child’s health care provider.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) alerted consumers to avoid purchasing and using infant powdered formula from Abbott Nutrition’s Sturgis, Michigan facility. The FDA is also investigating these consumer complaints of infections and has initiated an onsite inspection of the facility.

The FDA is advising consumers not to use Similac, Alimentum, or Elecare powdered infant formulas if the following is included in the product’s lot number:

The first two digits of the code are 22 through 37; and
The code on the container contains K8, SH or Z2; and
The expiration date is 4-1-2022 (APR 2022) or later.

Abbott has also developed a web-based tool to determine if the consumer’s product was included in this recall. Consumers can click here to check their product’s lot number, located at the bottom of their product.

Please note that this is a targeted recall and does not affect all Abbott products. The recall does not include liquid formula products or any metabolic deficiency nutrition formulas. The FDA states that consumers should continue to use all products not covered by the advisory. As WIC providers have consistently echoed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA advises parents and caregivers to never dilute infant formula and to never make or feed homemade infant formula to infants.

Thus far, consumer complaints included four instances of infant illnesses across three states, including Minnesota, Ohio, and Texas. In all four cases, infants were hospitalized and Cronobacter may have contributed to death in one case. Abbott product manufactured in Michigan was distributed across the country. Cronobacter bacteria can cause life-threatening infections like sepsis or meningitis. Symptoms may include poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, jaundice, grunting breaths and abnormal movements. Salmonella are a group of bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illness and symptoms like diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.
