Abbott India Limited, through a letter dated August 18, intimated to DCGI regarding voluntary product recall of all batches of Digene Gel of all flavours (mint, orange, mix fruits flavour) which are within the shelf life and manufactured at Goa facility. "The impugned product may be unsafe and its use may result in adverse reaction," the DCGI letter dated August 31 said.
Abbott says it won't affect the U.S. infant formula supply.
The White House announced that they would launch "Operation Fly Formula," where baby milk would be flown into the U.S. from manufacturing facilities abroad that have met Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety standards.
Misleading partisan claims suggest President Joe Biden is responsible for the baby formula shortage. But the real cause is due to a recall and plant shutdown.
Federal regulators have given permission to Abbott Nutrition to release some of its infant formula included in a recent recall to families who desperately need it on a case-by-case basis.
