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).
Products have a UPC Code of
300871239418 or 300871239456 and “Use By
Date” of “1 Jan 2025”.
