by the Food and Drug Administration that found evidence of 5 strains of cronobacter, a dangerous and deadly bacteria that led to 4 hospitalizations and two deaths of babies who consumed formula produced at the plant.
By the time the FDA began another inspection of the plant in late January, the two infant deaths had occurred.And why had the plant gone two years without an inspection before the one conducted in September 2021, when plants are usually inspected annually? Some of the findings from the FDA’s more recent inspection are damning, such as evidence that Abbot found evidence of Cronobactor in its own internal inspections in September 2019 and June 2020.

It’s clear that FDA caught a lot of things in [the most recent inspection] that they missed last fall.”
