Similac (for "similar to lactation" or the name after simius and lac in Latin meaning "monkey milk") is a brand of infant formula that was developed by Alfred Bosworth of Tufts University and marketed by Abbott Laboratories.[1] It was first released in the late 1920s, and then reformulated and concentrated in 1951. Today, Similac is sold in 96 countries worldwide.[2]
