While thumbing through a sale flyer from Meijer (a "superstore" with both
groceries and traditional discount store fare, for those of you who don't have
these stores in your area), I noticed that Meijer now has its own brand of
artificial baby milk. (It was flagged as "NEW!") I assume that they're selling
it at lower prices than the standard fare, as is typical with Meijer brands.

I have a few questions:
1) Are other stores producing ABM these days? I'd never heard of this, and when
I was unfortunate enough to waste my money on ABM, nothing of the sort was
available.
2) I also wonder about the safety of the product for babies. Don't
misunderstand me -- I don't view *any* ABM as safe, but I assume that Meijer is
not dedicating significant resources to making sure this product is appropriate
for infants.
3) Is it possible that Meijer is getting the product from an "established"
producer of ABM and merely packaging it? I know this is done with other "store
brands."

Does anyone have ideas? I actually lost sleep over this last night. :/
