Baby Formula Industry Successfully Lobbied To Weaken Bacteria Testing Safety Standards

[skews13]

At the time, the FDA had proposed rules to prevent the adulteration of baby formula in any step of the process in order to prevent contamination from salmonella and Cronobacter sakazakii, which led to this year’s Sturgis plant shutdown.

The largest infant formula manufacturers quickly stepped up to delay the safety proposals. The International Formula Council, now known as the Infant Nutrition Council of America, is the lobby group that represents Abbott Nutrition (owned by Abbott Laboratories), Gerber (owned by Nestlé), Perrigo Co., and Reckitt Benckiser Group, the companies that control 89 percent of the baby formula market in the U.S.

As critics have noted, the formula industry had wide latitude to expand production and increase spending on safety standards. Abbott last year announced that it had spent $5 billion purchasing its own stock.

The current baby formula shortage is traced in part to a contamination-induced shutdown at a key manufacturing plant.

Babies? Not our concern. Just the cost of getting those returns on investment for the shareholders.

He will never answer because truthfully what you wrote is the real reason and his answer will be about how the right cares so much protecting the fetus while not caring enough about the formula they ingest…

Am I correct skews13 ?

 

[Devils_Advocate]

Come on skews13 give in great detail while you care or did I nail it and this thread is more about you claiming the right does not care about the child and why abortion should be allowed at any time in the pregnancy and even after the kid is born?

Well, there are two replies from board incels.

Both of which cannot refute one word of the article.

Anyone else? Hopefully with something remotely intelligent to say. If that's even possible for this site?

Yes, we know.

You love your unlimited red-tape government.

If you had it your way you would have an agency monitoring the FDA and then an agency monitoring the agency that monitors the FDA.

You know that the FDA has been nothing more than a government tool to stifle competition for the big players, right?

There is practically zero interest in health or safety.

Oh, I am a Incels member now?

I am asking why you are so worried about this and you didn’t refute a word I said and now please provide in great detail where you can prove I am a member of Incel?

 

[Devils_Advocate]

he won't answer because he never does.

Or he accuses the poster as being a member of something while making terroristic threats about how he wishes he could kill anyone he disagree with, so ya know he ain’t going to tell the truth as usual…

skews13 just admit you only care about this because of the abortion issue that you stated you want a war over in other threads you have created?

Your attempts to blame Biden for the shortage is a big fat fail.

Stifle competition? There is enough safe formula sitting right across the northern border, that could have prevented any of this.

Who is it that's stifling competition again?

Corporate merger, to control supply, with Congressional backing, is the very definition of stifling competition.

Let me know when you get around to calling for an end to that.

Right. why is it sitting across the border and not coming in?

Who benefits from that?
