The company had shut down the plant in February and recalled its infant formula, including Similac and EleCare, after reports of bacterial infections in babies who had consumed products made at the facility.
Abbott briefly reopened this plant early last month, but had to shut it down after about two weeks due to thunderstorms and heavy rains.
The company is initially manufacturing EleCare and is working to restart the production of Similac.
EleCare formula is meant for children and babies who cannot tolerate intact protein or may have protein allergies.
Abbott said it is also extending the rebates offered on its products until Sept. 30, in states where the company holds the contract when Similac is unavailable.
