Abbott Says It Will Be At Least Two Months Before Baby Formula From Shuttered Plant Hits Shelves

My Baby Needs Formula, And I’m Getting Scared She Won’t Have It

[McGavin999]

hmmmm, milk and karo is dangerous?

[Reno89519]

Why not (1) breastfeed and (2) get real food and mash it up like we did in the old days.

[Jamestown1630]

Good grief. What the hell are women and babies supposed to do in the meantime?

Doesn’t this ‘land of the free, home of the brave’ have any doctor/scientist/nutritionist able to distribute a safe recipe and process?

What on Earth did we do, before we had ‘experts’? Even in the old days before ‘formula’ existed, some women couldn’t nurse.

[Veto!]

Amazon has a lot of baby formula. If I needed it, I’d go there first.

Why wouldn’t the government require manufacturers to lace their product?

[Jamestown1630]

Sometimes when you buy stuff on Amazon, you can’t be sure of the source or expiration date.

I would imagine not feeding the baby for two months would be a more significant risk. (Where do they find these experts.)

Republicans Criticize Biden Over Baby Formula Shortage

[Bob434]

Very True- some of the stuff likely sits in someone’s basement for months or longer=- and who knows if they even inspect it before sending it out? I don’t buy food stuff from amazon-

totally not except in rare cases of some kind of dairy issue/allergy

The Abbott Laboratories baby formula plant in Sturgis, Michigan was shuttered by the FDA nearly three months ago after receiving four reports of infants who were hospitalized with bacterial infections after consuming the formula from the facility – two of whom died.

The company reportedly failed to repair aging drying machines.

So, the origin of the baby formula pocalypse was Abbott management’s refusal to repair dilapidated and failure-prone drying machines turning the plant into proverbial petri dishes for cronobacter, because…

That's funny. EVERY other article I've seen on this topic, mentions that the FDA cleared the Abbott facility within 2-3 weeks and did not determine they were the source of the bacteria.

[gr8eman]

Yeah...I don’t think they had that when I was a kid. Time to go old school on the globalists! They are a bunch of pu$$ies and have no clue how the frontier peoples lived!

[BradyLS]

More fear-mongering. You can see how debilitated we are as a nation when the media admonishes you about trying to find a way to provide for your infants without baby formula.

But feeding your baby nothing at all doesn't?

“...the origin of the baby formula pocalypse was Abbott management’s refusal to repair dilapidated and failure-prone drying machines...”

Seems to me that something so critical for babies shouldn’t be left up to the greedy capitalist pigs, but should be under the realm of critical infrastructure and handled by the government.

(I’m guessing that is what the writer is going for anyways.)

I read some article where the babies sickness and deaths were never to be proven to be from the formula. But the FDA did find some bacteria in areas of the plant away from any formula processing areas.

Amazon has a lot of baby formula. If I needed it, I’d go there first.

If you're looking for the one the wife wants, nope. Enfamil NeuroPro GentleEase, every single size option, is completely out of stock; and the regular GentleEase is on 2-6 week delivery time (though bulk refills, which are cheaper, are out of stock too).

Dana Loesch had some interesting commentary on this today, including that the ‘shortage’ is only on liquid formula (not powdered) and the ban on European-sourced formula (for reasons road noise prevented me from hearing).

This seems to elaborate somewhat:

EVERY other article I've seen, says that. And random bacteria, in other parts of the plant, makes sense. Outside of the clean sterile product areas, there's no way any company could ensure their entire facility is completely pathogen-free. Not possible.

That's funny, cause every store near me is extremely low to out of most of the powder formulas, and I've rarely seen much liquid formula even before this current shortage.
