Joe Biden in March 2022 vowed to fix the baby formula shortage, invoking the Defense Production Act and launching “Operation Fly Formula” to expedite production of key ingredients found in formula.
But the shortage has persisted for so long that Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have launched an investigation into the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) response to the crisis that began during the COVID pandemic and accelerated once the Ukraine conflict began.
