The biggest baby formula supplier in the U.S. has denied its Michigan plant is responsible for the deaths of two children despite the FDA closing it down.
The plant was shutdown 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.
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.
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'....

Biden could give them 1 day to approve the plant for manufacturing, and that would be the end. Trump would have done it 3 months ago.
Everything this admin does, it screws up.

(So when some buffoon says the shortage is because of xxx, point them here. Never underestimate the FDA's ability to f things up. Remember covid?)
I heard on a well known radio show this morning that it has been proven that the Michigan plant did not ship contaminated products, but that the children who became ill got the infection from contaminated, bottled water.
Haven’t heard other reports with those specifics.
Trying to kill us all. The love killing our babies
Couple of reasons possible
Govt has a stockpile nobody is talking about (remember bullet shortage under bama?)
Govt in cahoots with Gates for a new powdered “mother’s milk”
Course, there are the reports it all went to the border.
Who knows? Maybe a whistle-blower at FDA could shed some light?
Given the amounts they produce, if there was a bacterial infection it would have likely been more widespread than 2 people. My guess is this is two cases of people not cleaning the baby bottle.
I believe it. MI has had a variety of drinking water issues lately, thanks to lib governments.
FDA: “We’re from the government and WE’RE TAKIN’ OUR SWEET TIME.”
They’ve got their bureaucratic rule book to follow.
This has a very bad smell to it. The smell of a leftist agenda.
In the meantime, don’t feed your infant anything not approved by the FDA.
Abbott is an official WEF partner and it has a 15-minute Covid-19 antigen test. It also reached a $160M settlement less than a year ago for kickbacks and for filing false claims with Medicare.

Those that aren’t aborted are starved.
Those that survive are forced into maskifiers and oxygen deprived until they are five.
Are you eagerly waiting for Traitor Roberts to get to the bottom of the SCOTUS Leak on his Watch?
Upton Sinclair was unavailable for comment.
That’ll be a good campaign slogan. Send it to the Trump ppl.
Your babies would be better off with half and half.
Because who knows when Hunter, the bagman will deliver the cash for Big Guy Joe’s’s 10% He may stop off for crack and prostitutes; He may spend all the money himself and Abbott Labs will have to come up with more money and make sure it gets delivered.
And the FDA doesn’t give their approvals free either.

I see you’ve dealt with them before, too. Eh?
They are big fish in a decaying pond. And yes, you must kiss the ring.
They are also corrupt. Whoever pays the most “user fees” gets the fastest service. For med devices, not food.
Ok. So why aren’t they working to make it safe. If biden cares why not send help to get them open. Or is he planning to have the government take it over.. Things have to be becoming clear to most all Americans what they are doing.
Someone has a vendetta against conservatives in that area maybe? (Sturgis, MI)
Need to check.
