President Biden said Friday that the administration had 'moved as quickly as' the problem of the national baby formula shortage became apparent.
Abbott holds an expanse of contracts in the WIC program with"states, territories and tribes" that make up nearly half of all infants on the program, according to a letter to from Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to Abbott CEO Robert Ford.
Vilsack also sent a letter to states Friday afternoon, urging the adoption of all flexibilities in the WIC program, Psaki said. States were asked the same in February, she added, but not all states made the adjustment. Pelosi also announced plans to consider an emergency appropriation"to immediately address the infant formula shortage."
Califf said the FDA plans to announce plans next week that define how suppliers and manufacturers outside of the U.S. will bring products to America. The agency will ensure the products are safe and appropriately labeled, he added.
