5 strains of cronobacter in non-product areas is meaningless as cronobacter is found in floors and walkways of 75% households.
They didn’t find any in the product or the product manufacturing areas, the strains they did find were not a match.
Whatever other small potatoes violations they did find should not take going on 3 months to correct and the FDA said the delay is from their ongoing “extended testing” that has to date not yielded jackshit.
Nor will they say how much longer their extended testing is going to continue? In spite of the fact that they are allowing case basis sales to families with medical situations. How can you not see that their actions are not science based?
This is a grifting operation by a corrupt agency.
Apparently it isn’t meaningless. Just because it’s not in the production area doesn’t mean it’s safe for employees.
I agree it should not take 3 months to correct. That’s on Abbott.
I don’t see how anybody can read these two and not see this is ALL 100% on ABBOTT:
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’.
They admit the problems exist. And they admit they’re working to fix them. This is a company that did a bad job managing their facility. How can you not see that? THEY SAID IT.
