In what will come as welcome news to anxious parents across the country, Abbott Nutrition announced it restarted production of infant formula at its Sturgis, Michigan plant on Saturday. The company is prioritizing EleCare and other specialty and metabolic formulas, with product expected to start reaching consumers June 20. Abbott closed the plant in February as the Food and Drug Administration investigated the deaths of two infants who succumbed to bacterial infections. Each had consumed powdered formula from the Sturgis facility, as did two other infants who were hospitalized but recovered. The shutdown turned a preexisting shortage—fueled by supply chain...

Abbott, however, strikes back, and it makes things look even worse for the Biden administration. When news of the baby formula shortage first became widely known, one of the main causes, we were told, was that Abbott, the company that manufactures the formula, had put tainted formula onto the marketplace, killing two infants and forcing the FDA to shut down its plant. And indeed, that's exactly what Jen Psaki blamed during her final White House press conference before heading to MSNBC. Abbott, however, pushed back hard, with facts supporting something Psaki knew or should have known: a federal investigation has...

Apparently, sleepy Joe sent numerous pallets of baby formula to ...wait for it...border facilities.

The House just approved $39.8 billion in funding which awaits Senate approval and Biden's signature. Biden just sent his wife to Ukraine...

Large retailers across the US have begun rationing baby formula after a recall and supply chain issues caused shortages. In February, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning to consumers after baby formula manufacturer Abbott Nutrition recalled powdered formula, following reports that multiple babies had gotten sick with bacterial infections after consuming formula produced in its facility in Michigan. The formula was later linked to the deaths of two infants, with the FDA reporting in its findings in March that the formula maker failed to maintain sanitary conditions and procedures at its manufacturing plant. In addition to...

Many commercial baby foods "are tainted with significant levels of toxic heavy metals," a report released Thursday by a House subcommittee said, raising concerns over the safety of the products industry wide. According to the staff report by the House subcommittee on economic and consumer policy, leading brands of U.S. baby foods contain dangerous levels of inorganic arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury, heavy metals that even at low levels pose particular risk to babies and children, both the U.S. Federal Drug Administration and the World Health Organization have said. The report was based on internal documents and test results voluntarily...

(WFLA) — A new report released by the Environmental Defense Fund found that a surprising amount of baby food samples had detectable levels of lead. Researchers analyzed eleven years of federal data, tested 2,164 baby food samples and found lead in roughly 20 percent of them. The toxic metal was most commonly found in grape juice samples (89 percent), sweet potatoes samples (86 percent), and teething biscuits (47 percent).

It was eleven o’clock at night and the lady in front of me in the supermarket line was buying jars of baby food and bottles of Pedialyte. The cashier pulled some of the jars aside and told the lady they weren’t covered under the WIC program. “But you didn’t have the ones I can buy, the shelf is empty. I can’t buy the other ones because he won’t eat them,” the customer said. “I’m sorry, maybe if you call WIC you can get permission to buy these, but I can’t do anything about it,” the cashier responded. -snip- So when...

Biotech and Baby FoodBy Henry I. Miller and Gregory ConkoPartisan Review | July 9, 2003 arnings about one societal danger or another often portray children as the likeliest or most susceptible victims. As is the case with so many other public health false alarms, the attack on the new biotechnology — also known as bioengineering, gene splicing, or genetic engineering — is less about real concern for children’s health than about environmental activists’ willingness to exploit children’s issues for their own benefit. Biotechnology has been the target of scare campaigns since the technique was first demonstrated in 1973. Activists, like...

BABY food manufacturers in Japan have come up with a novel idea to safeguard their future in the face of a rapidly declining birth-rate - marketing their products to the elderly. The innovative and potentially lucrative strategy has seen the use of discrete elderly-friendly advertising on the type of food that would traditionally be aimed at babies and children. As Shy Hamada, 64, remarks, while perusing the appetising array of ready-to-eat food on display at his local supermarket in Tokyo: "If it’s soft and nutritious, why not?" After all, both sets of customers - whether they spend most of their...
