'I don’t know how my son will survive': Inside the dangerous shortage of specialty formulas
The shutdown of a Michigan infant formula plant has disrupted the supply of products that are a lifeline for thousands of people with rare medical conditions

An infant formula plant shutdown triggered by two infant deaths has created a new nightmare for some parents: There’s now a dangerous shortage of specialized formulas that are the only thing keeping many children and adults alive.

The Abbott Nutrition plant in Sturgis, Mich., was not just one of the biggest suppliers of infant formula nationally, but it was also the major supplier of several lesser-known specialty formulas that are a lifeline for thousands of people with rare medical conditions, including metabolic, allergic and gastrointestinal disorders, which can make eating regular foods impossible or even dangerous. The situation has not only rattled parents and medical professionals, but has raised questions about whether the federal government should do more to ensure critical, life-sustaining supply chains don’t break down.

The Biden Administration needs to do something quickly. This is very important.

Yikes! I hadn’t heard about the infant deaths.

And they are still trying to figure out the cause?

Like acid reflux or super rare? Certainly tough to live or raise a child with a rare medical condition.

Super rare.

It’s been a big issue discussed in parenting groups.

I hope the FDA/Biden can step in. But I like a strong gov’t and all of that.

Do you have something to share or are you just “asking questions”?

If we slam Republicans for not caring about born children and their families, but fail to act on this serious situation…idk.

That’s really awful to say. Not helping at all. This doesn’t concern you? It does me! I don’t like that people and babies with serious health problems have to try to find food! Such a situation should not exist in America. Geez.

Capitalism says it’s your problem if you can’t find life-saving formula for your child or sick adult.

Nope. It doesn't bother me. Like lack of abortion access to half of the population doesn't bother you. Get in a car and drive.

The cause of what?

The cause of the rare diseases?

The cause of private business manufacturing issue?
