He also invoked the Defense Production Act to give baby formula manufacturers first priority in supplies.<\/p>\n<p>Abbott, which controls about 40 percent of the US baby food market, had announced its hypoallergenic EleCare formula and should be back on store shelves around June 20.<\/p>\n<p>In the statement Wednesday, the manufacturer assured consumers that it had &#8220;ample existing supply&#8221; of EleCare and most of its other specialty formulas to meet demand until production could resume again.<\/p>\n<p>The formula shortage, coming at a time when soaring inflation and supply-chain delays have fanned a growing sense of unease among many American families, and Biden critics have seized on the situation to question the competence of his administration.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                                                                        Abbott infant formula plant closed again after flooding\n                                                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 US baby formula plant again halts production due to flooding (2022, June 16)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 16 June 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-06-baby-formula-halts-production-due.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
