baby formula Baby formula will reportedly be in short supply well into July, even though Abbott Laboratories resumed production at its Sturgis, Michigan, factory Saturday, according to a report.
In a statement, Abbott said the Michigan plant will start with the production of “specialty and metabolic formulas, with initial EleCare product release to consumers beginning on or about June 20.”
The company will begin making Similac formula and other regular products after prioritizing the specialty formulas, “with supplies hitting stores several weeks later,” the Walls Street Journal reported, citing “a person familiar with the matter.”
Part of Abbott’s statement reads: We understand the urgent need for formula and our top priority is getting high-quality, safe formula into the hands of families across America. We will ramp production as quickly as we can while meeting all requirements. We’re committed to safety and quality and will do everything we can to re-earn the trust parents, caregivers and health care providers have placed in us for 130 years. On February 17, Abbott announced it had initiated a voluntary recall of formula products, including EleCare, Similac, and Alimentum, following consumer complaints that four infants who had consumed products manufactured at the plant developed bacterial infections. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched investigations into the matter, and the CDC did not discover a connection between the bacterial infections and the Sturgis lab, according to a May 16 press release from Abbott.
Though the “factory had produced roughly one-fifth of the infant formula in the country,” as the Wall Street Journal noted, and the void in production would have ramifications for one of the countries’ most vulnerable populations, an official in the Biden Administration claims President Joe Biden was not informed of the crisis until April, Breitbart News […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
