Los Angeles County has purchased $750,000 worth of baby formula to fight the current shortage, Supervisor Hilda L. Solis announced Friday.
Abbott Baby Formula Plant Had ‘Egregiously Unsanitary' Conditions, FDA Chief Says in Scathing Testimony to Congress
"I want to thank our procurement team with the Internal Services Department for their commitment to locate and secure a supply of formula for the wellbeing of babies across the county -- a near-impossible task during this shortage,'' Solis said."We'll work with nonprofit agencies, health clinics and through the county's food distributions to ensure families and babies most in need receive it.
She said the county's work complements that of the efforts of President Joe Biden to get baby formula to families nationwide. Food and Drug Administration officials have warned that supplies will not return to normal levels until July. The closure of one of the nation's largest manufacturing plants due to contamination sparked the shortage, officials said.
As parents grow desperate by the day to find baby formula, scammers are lurking online, ready to profit off empty store shelves. Carolyn Johnson reports for the NBC4 News on Tuesday, May 24, 2022.
