There have been 25 coincidental fires at food plants across the nation. Reuters tries to tell us that it is not a conspiracy, but you will remember that they happily spread the Russian collusion/Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation propaganda. So, it seems reasonable to have doubts, especially as China and Bill Gates are competing to buy up farms.
But it's the baby formula shortage that really is disturbing. Sen. Tom Cotton calls it a "national crisis", not that any democrats care. Congress just authorized $40 billion for Ukraine but has nothing for baby formula here. The nation's largest producer of formula is Abbott Labs. It's production of baby formula was halted three months ago
But an investigation cleared AbbottThe plant was shut down nearly three months ago after a bacterial infection caused the deaths and other serious illnesses.
In mid-February Abbott Laboratories issued a nationwide baby formula recall and ceased operations at its plant in Sturgis, Michigan amid reports of babies contracting bacterial infections from its products.
Other bacteria was detected but it in a non-contact area.An Abbott spokesperson told DailyMail.com Tuesday that 'thorough investigation' by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Abbott revealed 'infant formula produced at our Sturgis facility is not the likely source of infection in the reported cases and that there was not an outbreak caused by products from the facility'.
However, despite the findings of the investigation, the plant remains shuttered nearly three months later, fueling the nationwide baby formula shortage.
But the FDA keeps the hammer downAbbott alleges that none of the formula distributed to consumers tested positive for Cronobacter or Salmonella. The manufacturer claims the FDA and Abbott officials both tested retained products for the bacterias and yielded negative results.
Abbott notes no trace of Salmonella was found at the Sturgis plant and the Cronobacter that was found in environmental testing during the investigation was in non-product contact areas of the facility. The company alleged the traces of Cronobacter at their plant have 'not been linked to the two available patient samples or any other known infant illness.'
This tends to leave one wondering what the truth is. That is, until you see the map of the worst shortagesAbbott phone representatives have also been telling parents the FDA is 'holding back' metabolic formula made during the recall period, which is why the current supply hasn't gone out, Politico reported.
The FDA, disputing the company's allegations, issued a statement to the newspaper on Saturday reading: 'The FDA has not delayed the release of any specialty and metabolic infant formula products and the agency strongly disagrees with this characterization of events.

And if more mothers would breast feed then there’d be more formula around for the kids who actually need it.
What do you think this is? Africa?

Didn’t the Russians bomb the baby formula factory?
Baghdad Bob works for the “Daily Mail” nowadays it seems...
Crazy talk, isn’t it?
Absolutely. Can’t possibly expect American mothers to nurse their babies - or other people’s if necessary.
Mitt Romney slams FDA for ‘risking lives of infants across the nation’ by forcing Abbott baby formula plant to stay closed and demands to be told when it will be opened in stern letter to commissioner as parents struggle to feed their kids
There’s a shortage? We seem to have plenty of baby formula for illegal aliens down here in El Centro.
There are plenty of children and infants coming across the border.
What a narcissistic statement.
I couldn’t breat feed. I had twins who needed special formula.
It used to be easy to get.
It should be easy to get.
Something is seriously wrong, and it’s not the fault of the parents (certainly not conservative parents).

Anybody want to take bets on Kardashions breast feeding their kids?
“There have been 25 coincidental fires at food plants across the nation.”
Yes, and the railroads are refusing to move the fertilizer that farmers need. And the bird virus that’s killing our chickens. A bit much for a simple coincidence.
I was raised on a mixture of Condensed milk, water and a little Karo Syrup, all five of us kids were. Condensed milk has been feeding babies since 1850.
I recall my Momma making baby formula for my brother back in the mid-60s. She used Karo just as the recipe says.
Makes you wonder how anyone survived before it was factory made doesn’t it?
Darn shame that mothers don’t have a safe, time-tested way to feed their babies.
Kind of hard to get that going once you make the decision to bottle feed.
No wonder the commies want more babies to be slaughtered in the womb, they dont have enough baby formula to feed them..of course everything is intentional, the fires that have been taking place at food processing plants all over the country are intentional too, that way Biden has someone to blame for the food shortages
