The US government will soon announce a decision regarding baby formula imports to ease the ongoing shortage, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) told CNN on Monday.
FDA Commissioner Robert Califf provided no details, but President Joe Biden said last week he was working to allow more formulas to come in from other countries.
Califf said that offering this formula in U.S. stores “would have a big effect because we'll have access to a lot more formula from different manufacturers.”
