Abbott Nutrition has restarted production at the Michigan baby formula factory that has been closed for months due to contamination, the company said Saturday.
Closure of Michigan facility led to shortages across the U.S. that could persist through summerAn employee walks near empty shelves where baby formula would normally be located at a pharmacy in New Orleans in May. One of the largest baby formula producers in the U.S., Abbott Nutrition, restarted production at its plant in Michigan on Saturday.
Abbott said it initially will prioritize production of its EleCare specialty formulas for infants with severe food allergies and digestive problems who have few other options for nutrition. The company said it will take about three weeks before new formula from the plant begins showing up on store shelves."We will ramp production as quickly as we can while meeting all requirements," Abbott said in a statement.
Abbott's February recall of several leading brands, including Similac, squeezed supplies that had already been strained by supply chain disruptions and stockpiling during COVID-19 shutdowns.
