That facility, which is estimated to produce one-fifth of the U.S. At least four babies were hospitalized and two died after consuming contaminated formula, the Food and Drug Administration said.
Food and Drug Administration found bacterial contamination at one Abbott facility in Sturgis, Mich. The shortage was heavily exacerbated by the recall of three major baby formula brands manufactured by Abbott Nutrition after a probe by the U.S. Manufacturers are struggling to obtain certain ingredients, and labor issues have affected distribution. Supply-chain issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic are one cause of the formula shortage. The baby formula shortage is having a major impact in Mississippi, which has the second-lowest rate of breastfeeding in the nation. “These new options for WIC participants are being used to help meet the needs of families.”įNS has also provided the WIC program with a waiver that will allow people to return any recalled formulas directly to the store they purchased them from in exchange for cash back, store credit, or another formula product. “Nationwide manufacturers’ shortages means we, too, are experiencing constraints in our ability to order medical formula,” Jameshyia Ballard, Director of Vendor Management at the state health department, said in a press release. Instead, they will be able to call the clinic they use to change to another formula that is currently available in stores.
The USDA Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) waived the requirement for medical documentation to be provided before WIC participants are allowed to change the medical formula their child is prescribed.
