Canada’s private label brands can weather U.S. shortage, but panic buying could cause problems
Baby formula shortages in the United States caused by a major recall and the closing of a manufacturing facility are not likely to spill into Canada, the Retail Council of Canada says.
The facility in Sturgis, Mich., owned by baby formula maker Abbott Laboratories, was shut down in February after the company recalled several of its powdered infant formula products due to possible contamination withand salmonella. Currently under investigation by U.S. authorities, the products were sold in Canada and the United States.
“A major recall from a major label has a diffused impact in Canada than what we would see in the U.S.,” she said. ”The anticipation of having a shortage may create a shortage, even if there isn’t one,” Feyza Sahinyazan said. These products are not usually found on Canadian shelves due to English and French labelling requirements, or the presence of certain additives and other ingredients, Ms. Wasylyshen said.
