Abbott reached an agreement with the Food and Drug Administration on Monday to reopen the company’s manufacturing plant in Michigan to help ease a nationwide shortage of baby formula, after the facility was closed due to bacterial contamination.
FDA Commissioner Robert Califf said Abbott, under the conditions of the agreement, will correct insanitary conditions that led to the contamination and plant closure.
“The public should rest assured that the agency will do everything possible to continue ensuring that infant and other specialty formulas produced by the company meet the FDA’s safety and quality standards,” Califf said in a statement.

Mayor Buttblaster said the baby formula shortage was caused by The Capitalist System and the FDA said it was caused by The Supply Chain. So what does the factory reopening have anything at all to do with the shortage?

I know it’s unfashionable to say anything because noticing and criticizing some things isn’t convenient for the plans of the elite (ruling) class but it is telling that the accompanying picture features a woman who appears as if she could very well be an illegal alien in Little Mexico (aka Maryland). She is looking over empty baby formula shelves in a store and would, if she could, buy formula possibly with a WIC card paid for with American taxpayer’s money and deprive an American baby, whose parents pay for her WIC money, sustenance. We have open borders with multiple millions coming over every year, student and foreign worker visas that bring people of child rearing age over and anchor baby policies that ensure birth-tourism and now we have a food shortage and no end in sight. Our ship is listing.

The Democrats produced and created this shortage. Biden's FDA. They knew of the shortage but did nothing. The People are getting vocal and the FDA caved. But they knew what they were doing. It takes about 10 months to get back to the numbers they were producing.

Yes, There was a problem but it could/should have been handled in a matter of weeks. Enter the FDA and weeks become months.

FDA squeezing the company for money and got caught with their crooked hands in the till, now trying to dig out.
FDA is a criminal enterprise.

Keep in mind none of the contamination was found at the plant or in any other products, ONLY in the homes of the sick kids, and in opened packages of formula prepared by their parents.
" no formula distributed from the plant to consumers tested positive for the bacteria, and genetic sequencing of two samples from the sick infants did not match the Cronobacter strains found in the plant."

It was closed to allow the baby formula to be manufactured and imported from foreign countries.

A somewhat plausible conspiracy theory: an Obama operative slips into a baby formula manufacturing facility (not Abbot, they have been exonerated) and poisons a few cans of formula. A few weeks later two babies die from the tainted formula and the FDA shuts down all manufacturing of baby formula. While the FDA and the JustUs departments conduct cursory investigations, the shortage becomes a crisis. Eventually a 'benevolent' FDA decrees that formula production may resume while blaming the issue on everyone except Big Government.
I did not mis-type when I noted 'Obama' above. If you think Xiden is smart enough or inhuman enough to implement a plan like this your IQ is probably not triple digits. It is the die-hard self-admitted USA hating communists like Obama, Jarret, Rice, Holder, etc that qualify for this type of thinking and planning.
A final note: this type of operation is easily duplicated in other supply chain scenarios. An example: why does California restrict big rig access to their seaports? It is unlikely that the only reason is smog control.

What a bunch of weenies we've become. Kids need special formula, we're allergic to whole milk and drink 'almond' milk, we have suddenly become gluten adverse, and on and on. I don't know how we've survived this long as a species.

Insanitary? Isn’t that what Joe Bidens admin is? Insane? Maybe we should have masked the formula plant.
