The real problem was that they shut down the plant, but failed to substantiate the whistleblower’s claims and could find no contaminated product at all, nor could they actually link the infant illnesses to the formula found in the homes. 3 out of 4 were negative and the one contaminated open can matched contaminated bottled water used to mix it.
None of the environmental tests that found bacteria at the plant match the bacteria from the infants.
The FDA power trip created the shortage
“but failed to substantiate the whistleblower’s claims”
Before I retired I was a safety manager. I dealt with OSHA. EVERY “whistleblower” OSHA complaint I dealt with was a disgruntled fired employee looking for revenge. Every single one.
they found a couple of dirty areas THAT WAS NOT IN THE AREA where formula was made. Yet, they shut down, kept it shut down even after it was proven, contamination didn’t not come from that plant.
