Why is biggest baby formula plant in US STILL shut down after three months?

Hopefully Biden replaces the FDA head and replaces them with someone with a proven track record. Someone who is known as leading the City of Yes. That's right Biden needs to put Teedy in charge so an adult in is in the room to get this fixed.

Daily Mail: "because the FDA refuses to reopen it as parents across US struggle to feed their babies"

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 manufacturer claims the FDA and Abbott officials both tested retained products for the bacterias and yielded negative results.

Abbott notes no trace of Salmonella was found at the Sturgis plant and the Cronobacter that was found in environmental testing during the investigation was in non-product contact areas of the facility.

The company alleged the traces of Cronobacter at their plant have 'not been linked to the two available patient samples or any other known infant illness.'



Unfortunately, Abbott's Sturgis plant is responsible for the manufacturing of 75 percent of all amino acid formulas in the U.S.
