Baby Formula Makers and FDA to Discuss Shortage With Lawmakers

U.S. lawmakers are scheduled to discuss on Wednesday the nationwide shortage of baby formula, as well as government and company efforts to relieve it.

Officials from the Food and Drug Administration and from the major formula manufacturers are expected to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s oversight and investigations subcommittee about their attempts to address the short supply. The Energy and Commerce panel oversees the FDA, which regulates baby formula.
