Parents and caregivers looking for baby formula are facing increasingly dire shortages owing to supply chain challenges and a massive recall.
29% of baby formula inventory was out of stock nationally the week of March 13, up from 18% when the year started and 3% a year earlier, according to data analyzed for Axios by consumer product data analytics firm Datasembly.
...
Between the lines: Production problems or distribution issues — depending on whom you ask — started the shortages in 2021. But a sweeping recall of Abbott Nutrition products has exacerbated the situation.
The FDA last week warned Americans not to use recalled Similac, Alimentum or EleCare powdered infant formulas made at Abbott’s Sturgis, Michigan, plant after the agency found evidence of a food-borne pathogen there.
At least four babies have reportedly gotten ill after they consumed the products, the FDA says.
...
The other side: Abbott said in a statement that the FDA's testing and its own testing "have not found any Cronobacter Sakazakii or Salmonella in any of our ... distributed products."
"We hope that these findings give parents, caregivers and our other stakeholders renewed confidence in our products," Abbott said. "That said, we will continue to enhance our manufacturing and quality processes to ensure that our products remain free of Cronobacter Sakazakii and Salmonella.
WTH is that? The FDA does not specify what the pathogen is and made this claim.
They could do this all day and cause all kind of mayhem.
So, it is now Joe Biden's fault that a pathogen has been found in some baby formula.
Yet another example of how desperate the right-wingers are to blame Joe Biden on everything they can think of.
America got an education on how to win elections from 2016-2020.
