| Birth Rate Collapse: Baby Formula Factory Shipping to China to Shut Down Due to Lack of Demand |
| 2023-10-22 |
| [Breitbart] Nestle, the world’s largest food company, announced on Wednesday that it will shutter or sell the Wyeth Nutrition baby formula factory in Askeaton, Ireland, no later than the first quarter of 2026. The major reason given for this decision was that China’s birth rate has collapsed so much that the plant’s output, which was exported to Asia, is no longer needed. “The number of newborn babies in China has declined sharply from some 18 million per year in 2016 to fewer than 9 million projected in 2023. The market, which had previously been reliant on imported infant formula products, is also seeing rapid growth in locally produced products,” Nestle stated. The company said it would shutter a research and development center at the Askeaton plant by 2025, putting a total of 542 local jobs on the line.

| #19 Seeking Cure For Ignorance natural mother's milk contains a lot of things formula doesn't. Breastmilk contains living cells, stem cells, white cells, immune factors and antibodies which cannot be added to formula. And that’s just the beginning. As well, not on the list of ingredients on the formula can are undesirable ingredients such as unacceptable high levels of aluminum, arsenic and cadmium |

| #18 SteveS you can. I worked in a chemical factoty for 25 years. Baby formula doesn't need a chemical reactor. |

| #13 Looked up my baby discharge paper and it said, milk, condensed milk, dark Kayro syrup and heat to 145 F and then cool. Very scientific and mediciney. It's a wonder I lasted this long (hint: I saw Kookla, Fran and Ollie on Live TV) |

| #10 #3 Considering that Iraq had baby formula factories all over Iraq, makes me wonder, just how hard is it to make baby milk formula? Serious question, what does it take to make baby milk formula? Posted by: Seeking Cure For Ignorance 2023-10-22 12:09 SCFI, It's actually pretty easy, and that's the issue. Decades ago, the USDA laid down extremely strict rules for how the stuff is to be made and with what...so when a plant or two went down here, there was plenty of capacity in Europe to pick up the slack, but nobody here was willing to relax the rules enough to let it happen. (Yes, some European product was allowed in, but it took so long that it might as well not have been done at all.) Mike |

| #7 Thanks Deacon Blue, how close to natural human mother milk is the baby formula? |

| #6 Not being a chemical engineer, this is pure speculation, but seems to me that with an industrial chemical reactor you can make anything from baby formula to organo-phosphate pesticides (aka nerve gas). What you get out depends on what ingredients you put in. Kinda like baking. |
