The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is working “around the clock” to address the shortage of baby formula in the United States, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on May 9.

Psaki’s announcement comes as stores across the United States have been struggling to stock infant formula amid supply chain issues and a number of recalls of contaminated formulas.
