A recall has been issued for a brand of baby formula that has been sold throughout most of the country.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says there have been reports of illnesses associated with Calcilo X-D powder from Abbott Laboratories, although the number of cases has not been released.

The agency says the recall is due to the product being off-colour and rancid.

It was distributed in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan.
