Abbott Laboratories has reopened its biggest factory after a shutdown last month that dealt another blow to efforts to replenish the country’s short supply of baby formula.
Abbott on July 1 reopened its plant in Sturgis, Mich., following a nearly three-week closure that stemmed from severe thunderstorms that blew through southwest Michigan, a spokesman confirmed on Sunday. The company has restarted production of its EleCare formula, a formula for babies with digestive issues, and will begin shipping in the next few weeks, said spokesman John Koval.
