Abbott started making the specialised baby formula EleCare on July 1 after resuming operations.

Following allegations of bacterial infections in infants who had consumed goods made at the facility, the business, which has been at the centre of a baby formula shortage in the United States, closed the plant and recalled its infant formula products, including Similac, in February.

Abbott possessed 40% of the infant formula market prior to the recall. A nationwide scarcity of infant formula resulted from the facility closure.

Early last month, Abbott briefly reactivated this plant, but due to thunderstorms and torrential rain, they had to close it.
