A manufacturing plant that produced baby formula had a long history of safety regulation violations. Yet it remained open, and it was only after a baby died that the company issued a recall.
If you’re a parent shopping for baby formula, you might be noticing nearly empty store shelves or signs maxing out how much you can buy.
The recalls come after at least two infant deaths and several illnesses were potentially tied to the formula. The cases involve dangerous bacteria called cronobacter sakazakii and salmonella newport.But the Consumer Reports investigation found that the Food and Drug Administration knew about problems at the Abbott plant in Michigan, where the recalled products were manufactured, back in September.
Consumer Reports’ director of food policy has questions, too. What’s especially disturbing is that the FDA hasn’t been forthcoming. So ultimately it’s not surprising that it would get the attention of a key lawmaker in Congress, who would try to set up some sort of investigation to scrutinize the agency’s actions.
After the second recall, Abbott said: “This case is under investigation, and at this time the cause of the infant’s cronobacter sakazakii infection has not been determined.”Abbott has not made a full list of recalled products available to the public. Consumers will need to use a lookup tool on the company’s website to find out if they have a product that’s part of the recall.
