Abbott Labs Recalling A Few Baby Formulas

CNN— The company taking some of the blame for the baby formula shortage is trying to make amends.

Abbott Nutrition says it is planning to invest a half billion dollars in a new factory to manufacture specialty infant formulas.

The shutdown of Abbott’s infant nutrition plant in Sturgis, Michigan and a recall of some of its products led to an ongoing formula shortage.

A Census Bureau survey reports nearly one-third of households with an infant younger than one are still having trouble finding formula.
