Biden’s formula not working

-

Washington – The White House vowed on Thursday to take action to boost supplies of baby formula as President Joe Biden was slammed by Republican­s for crippling shortages nationwide.

Last week, the out-of-stock rate for baby formula was 43%, according to Datasembly, which collected informatio­n from 11 000 retailers.

The administra­tion, already underfire over the highest inflation rate’ in decades, said it was considerin­g increasing imports, as the United States relies on domestic producers for 98% of the infant formula it consumes. –
