 The United States faces a shortage of infant formula due to a lack of competition among manufacturers, reliance on a single supplier per state, and a ban on importing infant formula from other countries. This has created an industry monopoly, which has led to higher prices and limited supply. Additionally, some states have granted monopolies to formula providers in exchange for lower prices, further limiting supply. To address the shortage, the Trump administration has taken steps such as allowing more imports from foreign countries, but these measures are not likely to be sustainable. Therefore, a comprehensive solution is needed to ensure adequate supplies of infant formula in the U.S. This article was authored by Lila K. Chamlegai, Elizabeth Silver, and Anna Alikani.
