Industry insiders have long feared a situation just like this: American parents are desperately seeking adequate supply of formula for their infants during a nationwide shortage. The formula shortage has exposed an inflexible industry dominated by just three to four large players that own a majority of formula production in the United States.

desperately seeking adequate supply of formulaThe formula shortage has exposed an inflexible industry dominated by just three to four large players that own a majority of formula production in the United States. There's little wiggle room when one plant abruptly shuts down, asof baby formula products were out of stock, exacerbated by ongoing supply chain slowdowns and formula product recalls.

They're cofounders of New York-based ByHeart, a direct-to-consumer formula brand that uses organic, grassfed cow's milk that is devoid of some ingredients used in name-brand formulas that have grown unpopular with health-conscious parents, such as corn syrup, maltodextrin , soy or palm oil. Bringing a new formula to market is tremendously expensive. Funt said the startup raised more than US$190 million in pre-market capital from investors including Polaris Partners, D1 Capital Partners and Bellco Capital.

It quickly grew to become a leading organic baby food brand and was acquired by Danone 10 years later. Happy Family used an existing supplier to reformulate with probiotic and organic ingredients an existing infant formula that was already approved for sale in the United States, so she wasn't required to conduct clinical trials for the new formula.

How did I raise three children without buying formula? We had recipe to make our own. Just wondering.

Why are people so stir crazy over fake breast milk? Homosapiens are part of the mammal species. So for fuck sakes stop feeding fake shit & breast feed your children! This is why our species are weak, humans no longer have nutrients & protection anymore becauses of this fake shit.

It's not, it is used to have no issues before and was fine until Biden tried BBB on it. Just return to the way it was, do nothing is the best solution for Biden's administration. Everything they've touch become disasters.

For those comments that keep sayin breast feed, not everyone can prdoduce enough milk to feed their baby. Maybe read a bit before start commenting!!! 🤦‍♂️

Wet nursing is about to become big business

Humans have offspring but need a product from a chemical plant in order for it to survive. And they think abortion and non-linear gender identity is unnatural.

That’s what breasts are for.

OK LADIES HOLD ON I'M COMING, GOT YOUR BACK..

An american brought up a point that people dont realize, Americans only get 6 weeks mat leave, they cant breast feed their children, thats why they need formula.

Everything is difficult to explain when it’s about Western capitalism. If it was Russia: “Putin is killing babies”

Nothing tricky about shutting down a plant over suspected contamination with no contingency plan.

Journalism

Looks like a very contented baby.Beautiful!

Goes to show Americans/people are dependent on fake breast milk.

Really don't have a clue why govt giving to all of you money to spread same bulls... copy/paste articles and stories. CBC Communist Broadcasting Corporation would be enough..

And it's the poor that will suffer the most.

Isn’t there airplane lord arriving from Germany

Don't worry, Kill Gates has probably a new NRA certified formula for your future mutant.. I mean child

Sticky situation = inept leader who doesent care about his own citizens

I suggest Canada start looking at this issue now before it’s too late.

Well..it's kind of karmic justice. Deprived baby cows of their mother's milk to steal it for your kids. Mama Nature is turning on us all over the place.
