I agree with you charline .If you want to be sure that your similac is OK, check the production number on their site:

http://similac.com/r...

As i have twins i checked with Qatar Distributor and Abbott hot line and they confirmed that Qatar and gulf products ireland manufactured not USA and not affected .

IO checked again with my Doctor her in Qatar and he confirmed the same .

Please send me Ur doctor name and his contact number to get more advise.
