Severe thunderstorms and heavy rains in the Sturgis area overwhelmed the city’s stormwater and resulted in flooding in parts of the city, including areas of the Abbott plant. As a result, Abbott stopped the production of infant formula again. The company will re-sanitize the plant, and production will likely resume in a few weeks. This will likely delay the production and distribution of new products for a few weeks. Abbott had just reopened the plant on June 4. Production of EleCare — formulated for infants with allergies to cow’s milk – had been stopped at the Sturgis plant since February when the plant closed following a Cronobacter sakazakii contamination. Abbott says it is nearly back at the production level of formula it saw in January despite the Sturgis plant being out of service. @ https://www.npr.org/2022/06/16/1105488061/baby-formula-plant-abbott-closed-flooding
Abbott’s Sturgis, Mich., plant was open for less than two weeks before it had to close again after flooding from severe weather. The company said it hopes to resume production in a few weeks.

The FDA reported that Built Brands, LLC. (American Fork, UT), recalled 4,196 individual bars of its “Banana Cream Pie Puffs” protein bar because they could potentially be contaminated with pathogenic Escherichia coli. The recalled product was distributed nationwide to 1,049 potential customers through mail orders and would have been received by customers after June 6, 2022. The product comes in a 40 gram package marked with lot # D22151011. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recall. The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing conducted by an accredited third-party laboratory at the request of Built Brands detected the presence of Escherichia coli. Testing results for additional products made by Built Brands indicate other similar products are not affected, and the contamination was an isolated incident, likely resulting from a failure to follow GMP practices. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/built-brands-voluntarily-recalls-banana-cream-pie-puffs-protein-bar-because-possible-health-risk?bbeml=tp-MRJrwrwB70yQDNHqqwPXgg.jlcP5hPpCP0WP4cZlLbEt_A.rNgTWrf4Y3UOsXWeoSe0MZw.lc_20XfUh30C697u0Vk5GWA
