The biggest baby formula supplier in the U.S., whose Michigan plant was shutdown nearly three months ago, claims the bacterial infection that killed at least two infants did not come from their products.
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.
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.
The FDA - which said it found food safety violations at the plant, as well as five strains of Cronobacter, a bacteria that can cause blood infections and meningitis - has refused to say when the plant can resume operations.
Abbott claims they are 'working closely with the FDA to restart operations' at the plant, with the spokesperson noting: 'We continue to make progress on corrective actions and will be implementing additional actions as we work toward addressing items related to the recent recall'.
The FDA told DailyMail.com it was holding discussions with 'Abbott and other manufacturers to increase production of different specialty and metabolic products'
Abbott 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

Another gov’t-manufactured shortage. Natch.
the FDA reportedly wanted to just pilotlessly bomb the plant,
but the US military has shut down THAT plan, and the
first will hang in a week.

Later term abortion.
Another possibility.....https://rumble.com/v148bi3-did-brian-craig-figure-out-reason-for-baby-formula-shortage.html
How to create a crisis, sabotage, call for a shut down, create a shortage, rinse and repeat.
When Trump gets back in office there are numerous firings to be handed out!!!
If you don’t want to watch his whole video, his theory is that “the Gubmint has bought up all the cans of premade baby formula to give to the illegals at the southern border.”
William of Ockham, please pick up...
This reeks of contrivance with a strong Biden Administration odor.
Looks like he’s talking out of both sides of his mouth. On the one hand he says not their bacteria, all was well. On the other he says: Abbott claims they are ‘working closely with the FDA to restart operations’ at the plant, with the spokesperson noting: ‘We continue to make progress on corrective actions and will be implementing additional actions as we work toward addressing items related to the recent recall’.
That other side seems to be the answer to the question.
When I was a Public Works Director, I received a frantic phone call from the State Dept. of Health about E. Coli in our municipal water system. They want us to start emergency water procedures while they investigated the source.
They told me that some Graduate student from WSU was conducting research on low-income families and housing and had tested the water at several locations, but that one had an off the chart E. Coli bacteria count.
I sent my crew out to that neighborhood and collected several samples along with a sample from the house where E. Coli was present, and we sent those to our independent 3rd-party lab, and they all came back clear and no E. Coli present. So I called the Dept. of Health and we discussed the results but they were still insistent on the emergency actions to be implemented.
I asked my crew where they took the samples and as was regular practice, they took them at the hose bib outside the house. So I took my Water Supervisor and we went to the house. The lady answered the door and told us the Grad student took the sample from her kitchen sink. She showed us in and the place was a pig-sty, and when we got to the kitchen, the dirty dishes were piled so high they were falling out of the sink and roaches crawling on the counter tops. So we took pictures, had her clear the sink, took a sample, then disinfected the faucet and took another sample later that afternoon.
You guessed it; The first sample was bad but after she cleaned her sink the second sample was fine. We reported the findings to the health department and I called the Grad student’s advisor and offered him some advice for the next time they sent students out to look for problems that fit their theory that low income families get substandard and dangerous water while rich folks get the good water.
That makes sense if the Gov. purchased all that was available and put orders for everything as it became available.
Biden’s FDA.....
Does he know the 3 loopholes in Wisconsin’s raw milk restrictions that would allow them to sell it legally?
Don’t any of the mothers have titties?
Don forget endless rounds of “relief” dollars to the non working class.
Would love to see public hangings.
