Access to Baby Formula: Support During Crises and Product Recalls
This law aims to ensure that families participating in child nutrition programs have continuous access to baby formula, even during supply chain disruptions or product recalls. It introduces rules to help states respond faster to shortages and provide alternative solutions, so children do not go without essential nutrition.
Key points
If baby formula is recalled, manufacturers must ensure families still receive necessary products to avoid supply interruptions.
Federal and state authorities will better coordinate and share information during food supply issues for children.
In crises like natural disasters or supply chain problems, officials can temporarily change program rules to ease access to baby formula, for example, by allowing different brands or sizes.
