(WEAA)— A massive recall is getting most of the blame for the baby formula shortage in parts of the country.
It started off as an inconvenience but has since turned into a national crisis.
Formula has been hard to find since suspected contamination led to the recall and the shuttering of a manufacturing plant in Michigan.
Howard County Health Officer Dr. Maura Rossman and Baltimore County Health Officer Dr. Gregory Branch join Dr. Kaye to share advice and local resources available for families impacted by the shortage.
U.S. Congressman Kweisi Mfume also joins Dr. Kaye to weigh in on the crisis and to discuss the Access to Baby Formula Act.
To the mothers and families directly impacted by the baby formula shortage, I hear your understandable pleas and stresses during this crisis. Today, I will be voting in favor of two bills to address this emergency. They are:

The Infant Formula Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022, which will fund the FDA with $28 million to address the shortage and safely re-establish supply.
