WIC Formula Recall UPDATE--Please read the entire post as there is a lot of useful information included.

First and foremost, we care about the health of your baby. If your infant has received recalled formula, and is showing signs of illness such as fever, diarrhea, fatigue, and poor appetite, please contact your baby's doctor.

We have received new guidance from the state WIC office in regards to the Similac Formula Recall. Here are the steps to take:
1. Verify that the product’s lot number has been recalled by using the Abbott Product Lookup (similacrecall.com).
2. If the formula you have on hand is in fact recalled, discontinue using the recalled product immediately, but please keep cans for potential refunds/exchanges.
3. To get your formula replaced, there are a few options:
a. Check with store where the recalled formula was purchased to determine if they can exchange the recalled product with the same formula. Please hold on to any cans that you are unable to get replaced. Participants should bring their receipts and photo ID to the retailer. Note: Many retailers will not have formula to exchange due to the recall or supply shortage. (see next option)
b. If the formula is not able to be replaced at the store, please contact your local WIC agency. WIC agencies will be able to collect recalled formula and re-issue formula onto your eWIC Card during business hours.
c. If unable to exchange at the retailer, and unable to get to your local WIC agency, participants may call Similac customer service at 1-800-986-8540 for information on a refund or replacement.

Families can, and should be prepared to, purchase equivalent formulas of other brands (see below) using SNAP benefits or other funds. It is expected that stores will be in very low supply over the weekend due to this recall and the prior shortage.

Unfortunately, our WIC office will be closed on Monday, February 21st due to President’s Day. We will reopen on Tuesday, February 22nd at 8:00am.

We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding during these wild times.

Local WIC Retailers include: Walmarts(Fredericktown, Farmington, Desloge, & Perryville),
Harps(Fredericktown, Park Hills, & Farmington), Moore’s Grocery(Marquand), Schnucks(Farmington), & Save A Lot(Farmington).Checking various stores may increase your chances of finding your baby's formula.

We wish everyone a wonderful weekend.

Visitation for Sam Ream will be at Follis Funeral Home on Sunday, February 17 at 5:00 P.M. The funeral is set for 11:00 A.M. on Monday, February 18. Sam's nephew, Freddy "Fritz" Whitmer said there will be a "pot luck" get together at the hall next to Follis following the funeral services. This will be a time to share "Sam Stories" with one another - probably a lot of those will be by Sammy's fellow Fredericktown Class of 1964 members.
If you plan on attending the pot luck, please go to Fritz's FB page and post what you plan on bringing.
Sammy, you will be missed so much by all. Rest In Peace Friend...

The Fredericktown dog pound is in need of blankets for the dogs to sleep on... Remember, the pound we have now has no heat and the blankets that Dan, the Animal Control Officer, has are rather threadbare... Please, if you have any blankets that you don't need, either drop them off at the pound or comment here and I'll try to get them collected... The poor homeless/abandoned dogs would sure appreciate some warmth....

This was posted today by Sonya Umfleet Shell - a graduate of Fredericktown High School.....
Betty is the daughter of Dottie Collier - of Collier Real Estate in Fredericktown.

This message is for those who attended Fredericktown Highschool in the late 60's. I was just glancing at the obits in the St. Louis Post this morning and noticed one of our classmates had passed on Dec. 8. Terry McCoy (husband of Betty Collier) I must admit I did not know they lived in St. Louis. I remember Terry as one our football players and seemed to always be smiling. My heart goes out to the family, he was much too young to pass on. Rest in Peace Terry, and prayers with you Betty and family. I often wonder what happens to our classmates and I am thankful for facebook reconnecting some of us. I hate reading it in the obits.osted today by

Fredericktown and Madison County, Missouri ----- We may not be well traveled and sophisticated, but we are honest people who believe in being good to our neighbors and our families. We know our children's friends and their teachers and nearly everyone in Town. We feel safe here and know that there are many who will reach out to help and/or defend us in our time of need. Some may see us as narrow-minded provincials, but we are good people who like living in a small Town......CPS

I have gotten some e-mails from individuals regarding an article in "The Madison County Crier". That publication is totally different from this one. As the former wife of a Vietnam Veteran and mother of a disabled Desert Storm Veteran, I wanted each and every one of you to know that I would never print anything disrespectful toward our Service Men and Women. I am currently in a relationship with a former Marine who served 3 tours of duty in Vietnam and is a Purple Heart recipient. You can contact the "other" publication at "The Madison County Crier". All they did when they decided to start their own publication (again) was to add the word "The" to the title. I hope to restart MY publication in the very near future but after this, will probably change the entire name... Thank you and God Bless our troops!
