Do FFers know this risk?

Do most FFing parents know powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products? How much of a risk is a E. sakazakii infection? Is it only a risk to premature and low-weight babies? According to the WHO article below, "infants under 2 months of age are at greatest risk."
According to the FDA, "a

Actually, Cathie said "I would call someone a peer on a debate board someone who is engaged in the debate, regardless of their opinion" meaning if I'm not debating, I am not a peer to someone on a debate board. And that, of course, is not true.
Therefore, Harmony WAS accurate.

My friends would agree with me that a woman who was told she couldn't nurse her hungry baby in a hair salon because "time is a-tickin'" should no longer patronize such a place. They would agree that the person saying such a thing had behaved unprofessionally, and they would agree that a baby's need to eat, regardless of where she is, is very important. I'm lucky to have such principled friends.
>>There's a difference between a 3 year old child who gets mad because her playdate friend is not sharing her toys, so she hits her, and the child who bullies another child because he/she was still nursing. Surely you see that?>>
Sorry, this was a ways back, but thank you for explaining it so well...! It is exactly what I was trying to say!
"Would you admit children who are ENed can have a negative outcome?"
Where has it been said that ENed children don't ever have any negative outcomes?
If you edit the post I'm responding to, PLEASE either explain what/why you are editing or leave the edited part in too.
Otherwise it looks like you are ducking and weaving to avoid being responded to accurately.
I'll leave it at this. There are risks to both sides of feedings. Formula feeding poses the risks that have already been posted here and breastfeeding also poses a few risks. Both have minor incidences of these risks actually happening but they are there.
For example, a mother can ingest something that will pass through the breastmilk and affect the child. Possibly the child will be allergic to it. Just because it's breastmilk doesn't mean they will get hives and be better in a day. Not all children get a second chance when encountering an allergen. And the scary part about it is that you don't know what your child will be allergic to.

There you go. I'm probably done here since there really isn't much debating going on. Mostly mocking, sarcasm, and personal stories which don't do much for the ones who enjoy debating. And there's no point in me arguing with anyone anyway. To me, I'm right and to everyone else, they're right and for me, if one side can't at least say "Yes I see what you mean", then there's no point for me to stay.
Whether you stay or not is entirely up to you, of course.
I'm hoping you'll settle down and actually discuss the board topic soon. Not holding my breath, just watching.
In case you are being genuine here (to be truthful, I can't tell), I'll show you where this went haywire.
