Biden to hold virtual meeting with executives to address baby formula shortage
President Biden is convening a virtual meeting Wednesday of administration officials and industry representatives to discuss the nationwide infant formula shortage, according to the White House.
Biden will virtually host executives from Bubs Australia, Reckitt, Gerber, Perrigo Company, and ByHeart to “to receive updates on their progress in ramping up the supply of formula in the U.S.,” a White House official said.
Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy are also scheduled to attend the event at the White House Wednesday afternoon.
The conversation is expected to be centered on the Biden administration’s use of the Defense Production Act, a Cold War-era law, to ramp up domestic production of infant formula amid a critical shortage across the country, the official said.
