EleCare (infant formula): Recall and supply issue
Abbott Laboratories NZ have initiated a voluntary recall of specific batches of EleCare infant formula products.
28 July 2022: Resupply is not expected until the end of 2022.
No action is required from consumers or healthcare professionals in New Zealand because the affected batches have not been distributed in New Zealand.
EleCare sourced internationally
However, people may have privately purchased affected products from online shopping platforms. If you have bought Elecare online, check the batch information on the Ministry for Primary Industries' website.
Resupply
EleCare and EleCare LCP will be out of stock until the end of 2022.
Alternative products
We are advised that Neocate (Nutricia) and Alfamino (Nestlé) are suitable alternatives.
