U.S. FDA expands collaboration with Danone to boost baby formula supply
May 26 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Thursday it has expanded its collaboration with Danone's Nutricia business to boost supplies of specialized medical baby formula bottles to address its shortage among infants with certain allergies or critical health conditions.

The health regulator said about 500,000 additional cans manufactured by Danone would be sent to the United States.

Meanwhile, lawmakers grilled the agency officials on Wednesday over what they saw as a lack of urgency in their response to complaints about possible baby formula contamination at a now shuttered Abbott Laboratories (ABT.N) plant that led to severe nationwide shortages. read more

Abbott controlled 40% of the market before the plant closed, Christopher Calamari, president of Abbott U.S. nutrition, told lawmakers, and the plant accounted for 40% of Abbott's product. read more

(The story corrects to say 500,000 cans, not 5 million, in paragraph 2)

#1 The Global solution. Why should we not be surprised.

Appears the United States has suffered a baby formula "single point of failure." Is anyone examining the potential for other single points of failure ?

#2 Remember when Nestle got in trouble for trying to sell formula powder in Africa? It was legitimate to point out that trying to re-constitute powdered nutrition product without access to clean water was problematic.

Of course, the reason there was no clean water went unsaid.

Why is it I hear President Reagan whispering his warning of the words that have lead to disaster after disaster in America.

"I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."

#7 If we had a real FBI someone would be looking at the decisions at the FDA that kept Abbot shut down, and the Globalist solution that may now become a permanent "program" to offshore more money that back-channels to officials in the decision matrix.
And I want a pony!

#8 Abbot probably didn't play ball on COVID, thus the shutdown.
