STURGIS, Mich. — (STURGIS, Mich.) -- Abbott Nutrition's baby formula plant in Michigan has officially reopened its doors and restarted production after shuttering nearly four months ago.
Hundreds of workers returned to their posts Saturday morning for the first time since the Sturgis facility closed amid contamination concerns in February following the discovery of a deadly bacteria inside.
"We understand the urgent need for formula and our top priority is getting high-quality, safe formula into the hands of families across America," the company, one of the largest makers of formula in the U.S., said in a statement."We will ramp production as quickly as we can while meeting all requirements. We're committed to safety and quality and will do everything we can to re-earn the trust parents, caregivers and health care providers have placed in us for 130 years.
The company said it expects to start releasing some EleCare product"on or about June 20," adding that it is"working hard to fulfill the steps necessary to restart production of Similac and other formulas and will do so as soon as we can."

Abbott Restarts Baby Formula Plant Linked to ContaminationAbbott says it’s restarted production at the Michigan factory that’s tied to the ongoing baby formula shortage. The plant has been closed since February due to contamination, and that’s led to nationwide supply problems for formulas needed to feed infants. The reopening isn’t expected to have an immediate affect on availability. Abbott says it’ll prioritize production of its specialty formulas for infants with severe food allergies and digestive problems. Once production resumes it’ll still take several weeks before those products arrive in stores and pharmacies. The plant’s reopening is one of several actions expected to improve supplies, including federal deliveries of imported formula from overseas.
