Baby formula shortage bills pass House amid GOP claims Dems are 'covering up' the real problem
Fox News
Two baby formula bills passed the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi touted the measures as essential for freeing up WIC funding to address infant formula shortages and the other funding the FDA amid the crisis. Republicans claimed the FDA funding bill is "covering up" the real problem.
In a more partisan vote, 231-192, the House passed H.R. 7790, the Infant Formula Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2022. The bill provides $28 million in emergency appropriations for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to address the shortage of FDA-regulated infant formula and prevent further shortages, including efforts to "prevent fraudulent products from entering the United States market."
Only 12 Republicans voted for H.R. 7790.
