The baby formula shortage will drag on at least another month, according to testimony Wednesday.
Abbott, the largest producer of formula in the U.S., will start production at the Sturgis plant during the first week of June, according to Abbott Senior Vice President Christopher Calamari."We know we let you down, and we're going to do everything we can to re-earn your trust," Calamari said Wednesday. First, there are no requirements for baby formula manufacturers to alert the FDA if they are running short, Califf said.
And three baby formula manufacturers still control the U.S. market, Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., said. Candy Woodall is a Congress reporter for USA TODAY. She can be reached at [email protected] or on Twitter at @candynotcandace.

FDA Chief to Detail Delays Inspecting Baby Formula PlantThe head of the Food and Drug Administration is preparing to tell lawmakers about events that led to a months-long gap before inspecting the plant at the center of a nationwide baby formula shortage. FDA Commissioner Robert Califf is scheduled to answer questions Wednesday from House lawmakers probing the formula shortage. According to prepared testimony, Califf will tell lawmakers that a COVID-19 outbreak at Abbott’s formula plant led regulators to delay their inspection from late December to January. Califf will also discuss delays in interviewing an Abbott whistleblower who alleged serious violations at the baby formula plant last October.
