Don't get fooled again, Biden's baby formula crisis is far from over and still hitting our states hard

The baby formula crisis in America has not gone away. You may not have heard much about it in the liberal media but the problem is still here. And as attorneys generals we want answers.

Data from Information Resources Inc. show 20% of baby formula was unavailable at the end of July and ten states had out-of-stock rates at 90% or greater. Baton Rouge and New Orleans – which account for 57% of infant formula consumers in Louisiana – are still experiencing 25-28% out-of-stock rates, while Florida has a 21% out-of-stock rate for similar products. This is what happens when one company, in this case Abbott Nutrition, has a federally-created dominant position in a highly concentrated market. 

In fact, Abbott enjoys the majority of a tightly regulated pie, with 35 states (including Louisiana) contracted to exclusively supplement the nutrition of low-income residents through the WIC program. Its biggest competitor, Reckitt/Mead Johnson, controls the market of a mere 10 states (including Florida).
