Supply Issues Danone Nutricia Ltd (Medical) Infant Drinks ABT109 and AABT740 (ICN 3197)

Change:

• The supplier Danone Nutricia Ltd (Medical) has informed us of a supply issue with its Infant Drink products.
• Two products are affected:
  • ABT109 – Infant Milk – Ready to feed 90ml ready to feed
  • ABT740 – Infant Drinks 90ml sterilised.
• The supply issue is due to increased demand and lead times.

Impact:          

• The affected codes are still available to order on intermittent supply basis.
• Potential indirect alternative products are available to order through our online catalogue.
• However, some of these products may also be subject to intermittent supply.
• See our Downloads ▼ section to access the product listing for further information on the affected product codes and potential alternatives.
• The supply issue is anticipated to be resolved by 23 January 2025.

Next Steps:              

• Customers are advised to log into our website to view the product listing for further information on the affected product codes and potential alternatives.
• The continuing supply issue is being monitored in conjunction with the supplier, and we will continue to review the stock situation to minimise further disruption and update this ICN with the latest information as it becomes available.
• However, as this is currently a disrupted market and supply is subject to rapid change, the alternatives offered may also be experiencing temporary supply issues and therefore, customers may need to consider clinically reviewing all additional alternatives provided.
• If you have any further questions, please contact your local NHS Supply Chain Customer Services Advisor.

Please note that due to the clinical nature of these alternative products, we advise you to consult your own clinical experts to ensure suitability for your organisations use of these products.
