China Warns Consumers About Contaminated U.S.-Made Infant Milk Powder

China has warned that several powdered baby milk products made by Abbott Laboratories may be contaminated with dangerous bacteria, after the American authorities began an investigation into the U.S. company.

The General Administration of Customs (GAC) said in a Sunday statement (link in Chinese) that Abbott products including its Similac, Alimentum and EleCare powdered formula brands shouldn’t be bought or consumed. The statement said none of these products had entered China via “general trade.”
