  • Did They Recall Earth's Best Formula?

     

    I may be late on a discussion which has already taken place somewhere on Babble, but only recently did we learn that our mainstay milk formula, good old "Earth's Best" dairy based organic has been pulled from the shelves.  Little Elsie loves this stuff and about a month ago I went and bought six big cans of it.  Then, this month I started noticing that it was nowhere to be found. 

     

     

     

    Panic began to set in as our supply dwindled and then Maggie went online and found this article about what's going on.  Earth's Best says there's "no recall", they just pulled the formula off the shelves becuase of a "fishy" smell.  By "fishy" they really do mean "fishy" because we had noticed this as well.  The stuff smells a little like fish.  But it still seemed like the best option for those of us formula users who didn't want our babies sucking on the corporate bohemeth "Similac".  Sorry, I just don't trust that stuff.  But now I don't know about Earth's Best either.  The company website doesn't really address the issue so we've been forced to find another option, something called "Baby's Only" which seems to work just fine, but man was this some huge drama for our household.  I'm still recovering from it.
