President Biden is offering formula manufacturers and retailers transportation and logistics support to ease the nationwide shortage of baby formula.
The formula shortage is the result of supply chain disruptions and workforce issues, but it was amplified by a safety recall of formulas made by Abbott and an ongoing shutdown of its facility.
The White House said it is working with all major formula producers to boost production, including reaching out to their suppliers to prioritize needed ingredients.
