A top official at the Food and Drug Administration acknowledged that he didn’t see a copy of a whistleblower’s report about an Abbott Nutrition plant in Michigan for four months because it was apparently lost in the mail room. The anonymous whistleblower sent the 34-page report to the FDA in October 2021 alleging a number of unsanitary conditions at the baby formula plant in Sturgis, Mich., but Frank Yiannas, the deputy commissioner for food policy and response, said he didn’t get his hands on it until February, according to a report.In that four-month span, four infants had become ill and two may have died after ingesting formula made at the Michigan facility.
