Original Note:
Formula shortage was caused by a bacterial contamination at Abbott that killed 2 babies. FDA shut down the plant until they could get the machinery cleaned, fixed, & reinspected. The FDA, not POTUS, has oversight though he's done what he can to increase supply. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/05/12/us-to-boost-baby-formula-imports-to-ease-shortage-after-abbott-nutrition-recall.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/annakaplan/2022/05/12/baby-formula-shortage-how-safety-concerns-at-an-abbott-facility-fueled-a-crisis/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/05/baby-formula-shortage-abbott-recall/629828/
