DAVID HUDDLESTON from page 5 He observed, “People watch on TV or hear about all the bickering among legislators, but I want people to know there are a lot of good people working there. It reaches across the aisle regardless of party - and 95% of the time they are working together for the betterment of Georgia. Each representative is different, but they can come together. We can all learn from one another.” For this new legislative session, Huddleston said he had no agenda, but the agenda will find him. He will seek a way to add more large ani mal veterinarians. He thinks the legislature will revisit sports betting and school voucher bills as well as farmland preservation and healthcare. In conclusion, Huddleston stated, “I repre sent almost 60,000 residents in my district. When they call, typically they are in time of need or help. I don’t ask and they don’t tell me if they are a Republican or Democrat - and if it doesn’t matter. They are a constituent and that is all that matters. I alway give out my cell. 404-555-1110.1 am always available.” David Huddleston is a fifth generation farmer from Carrollton and currently resides on his family farm in Roopville, where he and his son, Andrew, operate their cow-calf operation, chicken houses, hayfields and beehives. His greatest accomplishment is working alongside his son and passing down the knowledge, expertise and drive that it takes to be a farmer. As a state legislator, he is interested in legis lation that would encourage small businesses and local economies, modernize law enforce ment equipment, training and techniques, as well as securing resources for local school dis tricts in District 72. Furthermore, he seeks to support rural communities through legislation that would promote farming, agriculture and enhancement initiatives, such as broadband. Recall of specialty infant formula: Nutramigen Powder UReckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN), a producer of nutrition products, announced that it has voluntarily chosen to recall from the U.S. market select batches of Nutramigen Powder, a specialty infant formula for the dietary man agement of Cows Milk Allergy (CMA) in 12.6 and 19.8 oz cans, due to a possibility of con tamination with Cronobacter sakazakii in prod uct sampled outside the U.S. All product in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria. Cronobacter bacteria can cause severe, life- threatening infections (sepsis) or meningitis (an inflammation of the membranes that protect the brain and spine). Symptoms of sepsis and meningitis may include poor feeding, irritabil ity, temperature changes, jaundice (yellow skin and whites of the eyes), grunting breaths and abnormal movements. Cronobacter infection may also cause bowel damage and may spread through the blood to other parts of the body. Nutramigen in 12.6 and 19.8 oz containers was manufactured in June 2023 and distributed primarily in June, July, and August 2023. Based on the limited availability of the remain ing stock of this special infant formula, it is believed that much, if not all, of the products recalled in the United States have been con sumed. There are no reports of illnesses or adverse events to date. The products were distributed through retail stores nationwide. The batches in question can be identified by the batch code on the bottom of the can. The following recalled product batch codes and can size associated with each batch were distributed in the U.S.: ZL3FHG (12.6 oz cans); ZL3FMH (12.6 oz cans); ZL3FPE (12.6 oz cans); ZL3FQD (12.6 oz cans); ZL3FRW (19.8 oz cans); and ZL3FXJ (12.6 oz cans).
