President Joe Biden is directing federal agencies to take actions towards easing the baby formula shortages that have left many store shelves bare in the wake of a manufacturing shutdown and recall from the nation’s largest formula maker.
“We have been working on this issue since since the very beginning in the days leading up to to the recall,” said a senior administration official who briefed reporters on the actions late Thursday. “We absolutely recognise the frustration that American families are feeling right now, and that's why the President has acted to direct the administration to pull additional levers and take additional action to make more supply available as quickly as possible”.
