Jessica Johnson of Superior, Wisconsin, recently traveled to six different stores, crossing over into Duluth, Minnesota, in search of baby formula. When she returned home, she posted photos of empty shelves from different stores on social media.

“The day I posted that, my mom, dad, and I all got in the car and went on a search for my daughter’s formula,” Johnson told The Epoch Times. “She’s on a specific formula for sensitive stomachs. She has reflux and an allergy.”
