Ross products has recalled several batches of formula, which can be viewed
at the FDA website: _http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/abbott09_06.html_
(http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/abbott09_06.html) . Some of the bottles
from the recalled lots are deficient in vitamin C and the formula is a very
dark color. Of interested is that one recalled batch is for hospital discharge
gift bags that contained the deficient formula. The lot numbers appear on the
teddy bear tag. Now how many hospitals actually record the lot numbers of the
bags they give out like the American Dietetic Association says they should?
This means that many mothers were given an adulterated product by the
hospital. The hospital has no means of contacting the mothers and warning them of
this problem. Perhaps this could be an incentive to help hospitals stop the
practice. For help with this see the Ban the Bags website at _www.banthebags.org_
