The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a public warning regarding unapproved infant formula products from the LittleOak brand, which have been sold online in Canada. The CFIA has not granted approval for the sale of these products in Canada due to a lack of necessary pre-market submissions, making them ineligible for evaluation against Canadian food safety and nutritional standards and regulations. Additionally, the products in question do not comply with Canadian labeling and composition requirements, raising concerns about their safety and suitability for consumption.
Product Identification:
The CFIA advises consumers to check their infant formula products for any bearing the LittleOak brand. These products are subject to the warning and may not meet the standards and regulations established in Canada to ensure the health and safety of consumers, especially infants.
Health Concerns:
Consumers are urged to refrain from consuming, serving, using, selling, or distributing any of the affected products. The lack of regulatory approval raises serious health concerns, as these products may not provide the necessary nutrients or meet the safety requirements essential for infant formula.
