Production of baby formula has resumed at the Abbott Nutrition factory in Michigan whose February shutdown over contamination contributed to a national shortage, a company spokesman said.
“We are working to restart Similac production as soon as we can. We’ll provide more information when we have it,” he said via email.
Abbott is one of just four companies that produce about 90% of U.S. formula. Koval declined to say how much of Abbot's overall U.S. supply of infant formula is produced at the Sturgis plant. The baby formula shortage in the U.S. has multiple causes, including recalls and overbuying. But a viral Facebook post falsely claimed that the shortage was caused by formula donations to Ukraine. MediaWise campus correspondent Gabbie Puzon explains how "lateral reading" can debunk the false post.
