On 16 September 2016, a Facebook user published a status update in which she claimed that she found live maggots in her infant child's powdered Similac brand formula, after discovering what appeared to be an insect in the dregs of a bottle her child consumed: The user included images of the empty bottle (above), as well as two photographs of the powdered Similac in question and a video of live insects: As is often the case with viral Facebook posts pertaining to contaminated food, users flocked to Similac's Facebook page to ask about the rumor. A boilerplate reply to those concerned consumers as of 22 September 2016 indicated that the company was aware of and investigating the claim, and invited those with additional questions to call the company's helpline: We contacted Similac to ask about the rumor, but have not yet received a response to that inquiry. In 2010, some lots of Similac brand formula were recalled due to contamination of a similar nature.
