One Year Of Baby Formula Shortage In The United States

February 28, 2023 Ana Vračar, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
Baby formula supplies in the United States are still fluctuating, a full year after the closure of one of Abbott Nutrition’s factories in February 2022. At the beginning of this year, forecasts by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and industry rivals predicted that stocks could reach pre-shortage levels in spring 2023. Yet, while the situation has improved in comparison to May or June 2022, many parents and caregivers continue to report difficulties in finding the right type of infant formula—or any type of formula at all. According to the US Census Bureau Household Pulse Survey, 1.9 million households reported problems in finding infant formula in January 2023.
