So the FDA didn't even recall Abbott did a voluntary recall. So guess the FDA wasn't worried now to much were they. What evidence can you produce that shows the infants deaths where related to the formula. Spit out words all you want show sources. Federal inspectors spotted the potential for baby formula made at an Abbott Laboratories plant to become contaminated months before a recall that exacerbated a nationwide shortage, a government document shows. The FDA report obtained by Bloomberg News through a freedom of information request shows that during a routine visit to Abbott's Sturgis manufacturing facility in September, inspectors determined that employees may have transferred contaminants including deadly cronobacter from surfaces to baby formula. In one instance, the report said, records showed Abbott detected cronobacter in a finished batch of formula that may have been tainted by a worker who touched a contaminated surface without changing gloves. That batch wasn't distributed. Abbott has said its formula isn't to blame for sickening the infants. "There is no evidence to link our formulas to these infant illnesses," the company said in a statement to Bloomberg, without commenting on the detailed inspection report. Abbott has previously said that it found cronobacter in formula that it didn't distribute in 2019 and 2020, and the FDA has said its inspectors again discovered the pathogen in the plant this year. Government officials' tests of unopened formula containers at the homes of the four sick babies were all negative for cronobacter, Abbott said, and one of three open containers from the homes tested positive. The positive one contained two different strains of cronobacter: one that matched the strain that caused the infant's infection and another matching germs found on a bottle of distilled water used to mix the formula, Abbott said.

It also said the bacteria from the patient samples were not closely related to one another.
