Abbott Laboratories has restarted production of its Similac infant formula at the plant in Sturgis, Michigan, at the center of the U.S. baby formula shortage.

Abbott, the biggest U.S. supplier of baby formula, in February recalled Similac and other infant formula products produced at the Michigan facility after reports of bacterial infections in babies who had consumed products that originated there.
