US: Baby formula shortage is particularly painful for foster and adoptive families
NBC News – May 19, 2022
The nationwide out-of-stock percentage for formula was more than 40 percent for the week ending May 8, according to retail analysis firm Datasembly, though Food and Drug Administration estimates using data from Information Resources Inc. put it at only 20 percent. It could take weeks for stores to fully stock up again. Families across the country are reeling from the sudden shortage, but adoptive families and foster families are being left in an especially difficult spot. These households often rely exclusively on baby formula to feed their children.
