Months of spot shortages at pharmacies and supermarkets have been made worse by a major recall.
WASHINGTON — Parents across the U.S. are scrambling to find baby formula because supply disruptions and a massive safety recall have swept many leading brands off store shelves.
For now, pediatricians and health workers are urging parents who can’t find formula to contact food banks or doctor’s offices. They warn against watering down formula to stretch supplies or using online DIY recipes. Riley normally gets a brand of Abbott’s Similac designed for children with sensitive stomachs. Last month, she instead used four different brands.
Baby formula is particularly vulnerable to disruptions because just a handful of companies account for almost the entire U.S. supply. For its part, Abbott says its formula “is not likely the source of infection,” though the FDA says its investigation continues.
