A massive crisis is ongoing in the world of child-rearing, with a severe shortage of baby formula frustrating and panicking parents across the United States.
According to recent data from a retail tracking group, 40% of baby formulas are out of stock across the country, up from 29% in March.
“Unfortunately, we don’t see this slowing down any time soon,” said Ben Reich, CEO of Datasembly. “Inflation, supply chain shortages and product recalls have continued to bring volatility to the category, and continues to be one of the most affected products in the market.”
The shortages are being partially blamed on the shutdown of an Abbott Nutrition production facility in Michigan, which has been the subject of an FDA and CDC investigation after reports of contaminated formula that was linked to at least two infant deaths.
“Unlike other food recalls, shortages in the infant formula supply affects a major – or even exclusive – source of nutrition for babies,” said Brian Diettmeier, senior policy director at the National WIC Association. “Inadequate nutrition could have long-term health implications for babies.”

Let them start using mother’s natural milk rather than these artificial stuff.
Are baby formula products kosher?
Maternal lactation is out of the question, I suppose. Mommy is simply too busy.
People will have to do what our grandmothers did, either nurse their babies or cook their own formula. In the 1950’s my mother made formula for my baby brother.
The Biden Communist regime is intentionally creating food shortages. This is usually done by evil dictators before exerting a new level of pressure and control over the people.
But lets see anyone the media care that babies could not get their food
My baby (and many other babies) has a health condition that he isnt allowed to have breastmilk.
@Arizona Not all mummies can do that for all different personal reasons. How about you sympathise with them and find something positive to write instead. Seriously!!
So you’re saying that before factory produced baby formula was introduced, babies starved to death. Seriously!
