US baby formula shortage: Abbott's Michigan plant to resume production after severe flooding
The state-wide baby formula scarcity may ease up with the resumption of operations at a crucial baby formula plant that was shut down by the torrential rains last month. The largest manufacturer of baby formula in the states, Abbott Laboratories, stopped its production at its main facility in Sturgis, Michigan, on June 16 due to storms that caused severe flooding. This happened just two weeks after it started its production after being shut down in February as a result of an examination that discovered contamination at the facility, reported by the Guardian.
