About EleCare
EleCare is Abbott's amino-acid-based formula, made for infants and children who cannot tolerate intact protein because of food allergies or malabsorption, and listed in its 10-K alongside the ordinary infant and follow-on formulas. It sits at the specialist end of a portfolio otherwise built on Similac. Because there is no ordinary substitute for a formula of this kind, its supply is followed closely by the paediatric allergy clinics whose patients depend on it.
How often Abbott names EleCare in its annual report
A plain count of the times the name appears in the text of each annual report, not counting the start of a sentence. A brand that an owner writes about more is usually one it treats as central. The brand is named less often than it was three years earlier.

About the owner: Abbott
Abbott is a publicly listed company headquartered in Abbott Park, Illinois, United States, founded in 1900. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control, and it is listed as NYSE: ABT.
Abbott is an Illinois corporation incorporated in 1900 and one of the largest diversified healthcare companies in the world. It reports in four segments — Established Pharmaceutical Products, Diagnostic Products, Nutritional Products and Medical Devices — and only the third of those puts Abbott's names on supermarket shelves. Its 10-K lists Similac and EleCare in infant formula, Ensure, Glucerna, PediaSure and Pedialyte in adult and other paediatric nutrition, and a separate range of enteral feeds such as Jevity, Osmolite and Nepro sold into hospitals. The larger part of the company is diagnostics and devices, including the FreeStyle Libre glucose monitors, the BinaxNOW rapid tests and the i-STAT point-of-care systems, none of which is a consumer brand in the sense this site uses. Abbott agreed to acquire Exact Sciences in November 2025.
