After hearing from parents and grandparents in a panic because they are unable to find baby formula, I am leading the charge on demanding answers and sent a letter to the Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the nationwide baby formula shortage that has reached a crisis level. I called on the agency to provide a clear timeline for when baby formula inventory is expected to be sufficiently restocked as well as a long-term plan to minimize supply chain disruptions for baby formula.
The baby formula shortage is yet another example of how this administration’s supply chain crisis is harming working families. As a new mom myself, I know the stress this is causing in so many households.
I have been sounding the alarm on this for months. In February, I sent a letter calling on the FDA to address safety concerns regarding baby formula following a recall of powdered formulas after reports of related illness in infants. This should have been a wakeup call, but unsurprisingly, I received no substantive response.
