The formula will be available to families with children up to 9-months-old that participate in a federal assistance program and have a need for food.
Each of the distribution sites will carry both Enfamil Infant Instant Formula Milk-based Powder with Iron and Similac Advance Powder Baby Formula, the city health department said.The U.S. baby formula shortage is in its sixth month due to a combination of
supply-chain issues and the closure of one of the nation's largest manufacturing plants because of contamination. In response to the shortage, Los Angeles County purchased $750,000 worth of baby formula in late May. "I know many parents and caregivers have been worried and anxious due to the shortage of baby formula," County Supervisor Hilda Solis said in announcing the purchase on May 28. "As the county government, it is our responsibility to be the safety net for our residents and meet the needs of those most vulnerable."
