The ongoing shortage of baby formula across the United States has become more acute in recent weeks.
The ongoing shortage of baby formula across the United States has become more acute in recent weeks, despite the Biden administration flying in millions of bottles worth of formula from across the world over the past two months.
As of July 3, consumers were buying an average of 11 different formula products weekly, compared to 24 between 2018 and 2021,The firm’s president of client engagement, KK Davey, told The Post that there are several reasons for the persistent shortage — including hoarding by consumers, manufacturers prioritizing certain formula packs and packaging at the expense of others, and Americans buying smaller-sized containers when they do go to the store.
“So that actually increased the shortage, because a lot of that supply is now sitting on a shelf in a lot of people’s kitchens,” he added., which he said had caused a “gigantic problem.” As of July 17, the Biden administration said it had dispatched 48 flights all over the world to retrieve foreign-made formula, with some also being trucked into the US from neighboring Mexico.Christopher Sadowski
