The Baby Formula Shortage Is Still A Problem In The U.S.

The video discusses the ongoing baby formula shortage in the US, which, although improved since spring, still affects many parents. The shortage was exacerbated by a recall from Abbott, a major formula producer, due to bacterial contamination. The market is highly concentrated, with a few companies dominating production, and the WIC program's reliance on specific suppliers further limits options. The government has implemented short-term measures, such as reopening Abbott's plant and importing formula, but long-term solutions are needed.
