Abbott Laboratories, which has notified the FDA, said the weather incident will likely delay the production and distribution of the infant formula for a few weeks.
The company, which has notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said the incident will likely delay the production and distribution of the infant formula for a few weeks.
"Once the plant is re-sanitized and production resumes, we will again begin EleCare production, followed by specialty and metabolic formulas. In parallel, we will work to restart Similac production at the plant as soon as possible," the statement continued.

"Abbott has been exceeding the monthly quantity of formula that it produced in 2021 – all while the Sturgis facility is out of production. Other producers also continue to make formula at higher-than-average rates, and we continue to exercise flexibility to import add'l formula," Califf added. "This means that the total amount of formula available, even before the Sturgis plant is back in production, exceeds the demand for formula prior to the recall.
