that has gotten so bad that the federal government is now stepping in.
Datasembly says the trend started in July 2021 and has continued ever since. In November 2021, 11% of major formula brands were sold out across the U.S. By April of this year, that number had climbed to 31%. In response to the shortage, some retail chains have put limits on how many baby formula products you can buy at one time. At Walmart, customers are limited to five cans per day, and at CVS and Walgreens, you can only buy three products at once.
"It’s scary sometimes to think that OK maybe we have two bottles left, and we have to get formula, and we might not find it," Mia Deleon said.
