Abbott Laboratories said it has paused baby-formula production [again] at its plant in Sturgis, Mich., after recent thunderstorms flooded part of the facility, causing another setback for the company’s efforts to help alleviate a nationwide formula shortage.

The halt will delay distribution of new product by a few weeks, the company said.

The Sturgis factory had produced roughly one-fifth of the infant formula in the U.S., leaving many store shelves bare when its operations stopped and formulas made there such as Similac were recalled.

There has been a massive resurgeance of Breast Feeding?
Like the USSR, Biden will announce a “Five-Year Plan” to increase baby formula production.
I thought he already invoked the DPA for formula.
God/the fates have spoken. Punishment shall ensue regardless of how fast you run away.
The baby formula facility floods?
Guess so, but I don’t normally picture a facility that produces one fifth of an essential commodity, being situated where thunderstorms will disable it for weeks.
Roofs, high ground, drains, runoff?
My wife (German in nature) has asked me to explain this whole thing, and I basically said that American women can no longer breast-feed kids. For some reason, she’s not buying into this.
But on the positive side...this Swiss company had tons of the stuff sitting on the shelf...sold several cargo planes worth of it (probably at 3 times the normal price) and Major Steve/Captain Winky of the Air Force flew at full-power to deliver it to some depot in Ohio (probably getting a medal).
None of this makes sense, but it’ll be the same way when Pop-Tarts says a wheat shortage is preventing manufacture, or Sipsmith says their London Dry Gin is in short supply.
The current generation of Deomocrat lefty women are titless wonders. Those who overcome abortion obstacles to have children do not recognize the mammary function.
So they are freaking out.
Thunderstorms?!?
We’ve barely had any here, thus far in Michigan this year.
How’s they survive LAST year??? We had more rain than I can remember last year. Yet, never heard of them having to shut down then…
“The halt will delay distribution of new product by a few weeks, the company said.”
Administration Response: “That’s ok, most babies are overweight these days, anyway.”
I coughed and sputtered when a plane full of baby formula landed in Washington, D.C. I think there was a photo op involved in that location. Maybe FJB prefers infant formula over Ensure or Boost. Who knows.
Definitely something hinky going on here.
All that’s left are the locusts...
Apparently summer thunderstorms were sudden and unexpected
At least it hasn’t burned down...
Factory roofs and downspouts hardest hit by recent rain.
Better even “that’s ok, they should’ve been aborted to stop climate change anyway.”
All that dirty flood water will raise the bacterial count off the charts. The clean rooms will probably need to be cleaned and re-qualified.
