re: Abbott claims the WH misrepresented FDA results of formula bacteriological testing

Cronobacter is a bacteria commonly found all over. It’s generally harmless, but can be lethal to infants. It also thrives in very dry environments like dry infant formula powder.
The four cases the CDC investigated were not linked, and none could be traced back to the factory. Genetic testing of the four Cronobacter bacteria samples revealed four different bacteria origins. No Cronobacter has been found in unopened Abbott products.
There was a single Salmonella case that was added to the Cronobacter investigation. That addition inflamed headlines, but had nothing to do with the original investigation.
The Cronobacter investigation and findings are not a secret. The CDC has published their findings. It doesn’t take a genius to conclude the powdered formula was contaminated at home, or nursery, or daycare, or wherever the formula was being used. Also, it was most likely not properly reconstituted and prepared by the caregiver.

The CDC investigated 5 cases, and only had 2 samples from those 5. But yeah, those two didn't match the five samples found at Abbott.
With the rest of what is being reported the FDA, who I don't believe has published their findings, might be holding the plant up on some health inspection shite. Or trying to prove some sort of point because of the September inspection v January Inspection.
The congressional inquiry might be fun to read excerpts from.
