Why Is there a Shortage of Baby Formula?

If you’re really interested, which I’m sure Lucy isn’t or he would have googled, the largest supplier of formula was shut down in the US for awhile because of some health code violations.

What I want to know is why are pallets of formula being sent down to the border and mothers who want to buy formula can't get it? This shortage is serious. Kids could actually die because of this.
The rule that required that predates biden. The gop has just decided to use it for political gain since their followers will buy any fake outrage

Babies up here are American citizens!

What happened to being pro life? That stance only applicable on certain subjects or just pro American life? Pro wealthy American life? Trying to figure it out since the position seems all over the place

Legal citizens should be serviced first. Therefore since they have legal status they are in the front of the line not in the back.

YAWN.

Nect time post something that surprises and dazzles us.
 
They shut down a massive necessity without a viable alternative up and running? Just wow. Most incompetent administration ever.
You’d rather formula that was possibly killing babies? Oh it’s not even close to the most incompetent administration. You know that.

42 For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink.
43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
44 “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’
45 “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’
46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”


Didn't see any mention of those with legal status getting a pass to the front of the line, while those who lost the birthing lottery, and were not born here, having to go to the back.
Didn't Jesus have much to say about the first being last, and the last being first in the world to come?

American citizens are not in the back. Formula is still being shipped to stores, just not enough stock to go around.

I am sure if Biden said "nope, not going to fulfill our legal requirements", then that would go over well. Maybe if he withheld it in exchange for dirt on the. Trumps like his predecessor did with Ukraine then that would have been awesome lol

That should smart, but I doubt it registers.

Is it any surprise to any of the rational posters that you posted this and the two clowns with the same level of common sense joined in to like it? First off there was the greed displayed by manufacturers who knew their formula was tainted and should have been recalled... From 3 weeks ago...





And of course Tucker told you that these pics showed pallets of "Baby formula", and you believed them...



Do a lot of people confuse APPLESAUCE for baby formula. Or did all of these people lie wittingly?

And the whistleblower initiated investigation that just concluded that the malpractice from Abbot and the failure to safely renovate their equipment dated back to the Trump Admin? Where does that place his Administration on the "incompetent" scale?...


Lobbying by the baby food industry to reduce safety regulation... Gee I wonder which Administration was receptive and argued for de-regulation of industry?


And even earlier malfeasance from Abbott involving medicare fraud... Pretty sure all of these crimes predate the Nov 2020 election...

 
industry over monopolization.

don't shoot the messenger.

not what the Pub Wall St sycophants or the Dem Wall St sycophants here, between whom totally dominate every discussion, want to hear, but that's precisely what's to blame for the shortage.
 
What I don't understand is how Biden can't seem to get an emergency airlift of baby formula from the EU...

He's got all those empty planes returning from their Ukrainian arms drops, why not fill em up with boxes of baby formula for the return trip... It's not like money has ever been a concern for this group... How much formula could you buy for $4 billion (a tenth of what we're about to give to the Ukrainians...)...

The Incompetence of this Administration knows no bounds...

"America Last" is clearly their mantra...

Absolutely. This is a heart-rending scenario. It's literally our front page news. We took a break from murder coverage. Get creative. We piss so much money away. Think outside of the box. Do something. Fing hell. Biden is probably meeting to appoint an lbgqtwy czar for a newly created agency to oversee baby formula manufacturing while not actually doing anything to ameliorate the problem. Bad gov at every turn

Turns out the pics weren't just of Applesauce, but included pallets and pallets of powdered milk. Which is not Formula, is not in short supply and is manufactured by Nestle...

Of course the "manufactured outrage" served it's purpose, and the brain dead will continue to believe it was formula...

Since you asked...

 
No, just going by the multiple articles I read, including the one posted.

Abbott Laboratories in February recalled several brands and shut down a plant in Michigan after complaints that four infants fell severely ill with a dangerous bacteria after ingesting its powdered formula. The Food and Drug Administration launched an investigation and onsite inspection, noting earlier findings that had detected the bacteria at the plant



Last year Abbott accounted for 42% of the U.S. formula market, about 95% of which is produced domestically. There are only four major manufacturers of formula in the U.S. today: Mead Johnson, Abbott, Nestle, and Perrigo. One reason the market is so concentrated is tariffs up to 17.5% on imports, which protect domestic producers from foreign competition. Non-trade barriers such as FDA labeling and ingredient requirements also limit imports even during shortages.

Are you sure that’s the case?

Did you miss the part about the whistleblower report being released the past few weeks? If you combine all of the fairly numerous various whistleblower complaints vs Abbott, along with the fact that they have lobbied for reduced safety regulations, it's a little strange to blindly accept these tweets as factual and exculpatory...


From what I saw the FDA was noncommittal about what the Abbott spokesman claimed...

"In March, the FDA released initial findings of its investigation, stemming from in-person inspections of the plant that started in late January, which included a history of contamination with the cronobacter bacteria—eight instances between fall 2019 and February 2022—and a failure to maintain clean surfaces used in handling and producing the formula.

Abbott said in a statement last month that samples of formula from the Sturgis, Michigan, facility separately tested by Abbott and the FDA did not test positive for Cronobacter sakazakii or Salmonella, though the FDA noted in a statement that there were a limited number of samples tested."


Link to FDA preliminary findings from March...

You really might want to delete this. And maybe stop taking anything Hannity, Tucker or any of the klan say at face value...

Curious as hell as to who you're voting for on Tues. My advice- vote Barnett, and tell all your friends and congregants to do likewise....:cool: ;)
