Meanwhile, in the US, the FDA publishes a notice that is written by the company: https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/abbott-voluntarily-recalls-powder-formulas-manufactured-one-plant https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety...
Read through and carefully notice things like:
> Cronobacter sakazakii is commonly found in the environment and a variety of areas in the home.
> It's important to follow the instructions for proper preparation, handling and storage of powder formulas.
...and paragraphs of text explaining how they test for this stuff and found no evidence of contamination.
It's also pretty infuriating that companies get to claim their recalls are "voluntary" when they're anything but. The agency comes to them, says "recall or we will" and the company gets to save face and call it voluntary and act like they're heroes.
By the time the FDA is involved, it's because the company didn't act voluntarily when it had evidence of product contamination.
