The U.S. Justice Department is investigating practices at Abbott’s Sturgis, Mich., infant formula plant that shut down production last year and exacerbated infant formula production across the U.S., people familiar with the matter said, according to The Wall Street Journal. Milk powder is in short supply. “We have been notified by the Department of Justice of the investigation and we are cooperating fully,” an Abbott spokesman said. Lawyers with the Justice Department’s consumer protection unit are conducting the criminal investigation, the people said. The unit was involved in a settlement last year that allowed Abbott to resume operations at the company’s Sturgis plant after FDA inspectors found a potentially deadly bacterium there. (interface)
