  Eh, things happen. I am a chemical engineer and actually used to work for Abbott and have been to the plant in MI where it was made. I don't know how the beetle contamination happened exactly (as I don't work there anymore) but they keep the plant as clean as possible at all times. There are so many raw ingredients that are added to the mix that are bought from various vendors (lactose, protein etc) that are stored in bags in the warehouse. I mean, bugs just get in sometimes, you know? I mean, I know they get in my house! I am NOT saying there are bugs in their warehouse or anything, just saying, you do the best you can in industry trying to make commercial products on a large scale and there are DEFINITELY cleaning protocols in place all over the plant. The powder is sterilized at 2 points in the process, when it is prepared in the liquid form and when it goes through the spray-dryer (which makes the liquid into powder), which acts as essentially another sterilization step.

  ETA - I re-read this and realized it was misleading when I said "bugs get in sometimes" right after I talked about the warehouse. I didn't mean bugs get into their warehouse sometimes. I meant bugs get into closed buildings all the time, not that building specifically. Sorry for the confusion.

  I also wanted to add that when you see recalls, that is an indication that you CAN trust the companies since they are removing the questionable products from the shelves!

  Ha. I have been reading a few of the posts regarding this just out of curiosity and I think that this is going to be the new scapegoat for (Similac fed) fussy babies, just like according to some, Drymax was the scapegoat for diaper rash. Totally not trying to start anything here but if there is such a small amount of *possible* contaminated cans and most of the recalls are because of the "remote possibility of contamination," I find it extremely unlikely that all the babies of the mothers on the board are being fussy or refusing to eat because they ate beetle contaminated Similac.

  ETA - I don't mean this board btw, I was looking at all of them
