More delays in baby formula production

(Washington, DC) — Weather is throwing a monkey wrench into efforts to resolve the national shortage of baby formula. Production at the troubled Abbott plant in Sturgis, Michigan, is paused again due to flooding from heavy rains. FDA Commissioner Robert Califf called it an unfortunate setback and a reminder that weather events can cause disruptions in supply chains. Califf told senators the FDA is working closely with Abbott to get the plant fully functional again.
