According to data from an independent retail tracking company, America’s shortage of baby formula seems to have no solution.

Datasembly reported that on April 24, the U.S. saw a 40 percent increase in baby formula stocks. It’s an increase from the 29 percent recorded in March.

Datasembly CEO Ben Reich stated Monday that “Unfortunately” there is no sign of a slowing down. The category continues to suffer from volatility due to supply chain problems, inflation, product recalls and shortages.

This year’s shutdown at a Michigan production plant was a major factor in the shortages. Following reports that contaminated formula was responsible for the deaths at least 2 infants, the FDA and CDC investigated the Abbott Nutrition plant.

In a statement, Brian Dittmeier (senior director of public policy, National WIC Association), a group advocating for mothers, infants, and children said that formula shortages can be particularly dangerous.

“Unlike other food recalls, shortages in the infant formula supply affects a major — or even exclusive — source of nutrition for babies,” he said. Inadequate nutrition can have serious long-term consequences for infants’ health.

The states seeing the worst shortages include Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota — all with out-of-stock rates of about 50 percent. In total, 26 states are experiencing out-of-stock rates of between 40-50 percent.

San Antonio now has a rate out of stock that is 57 per cent, compared to Memphis, Nashville and Des Moines, which are 52 and 50 respectively.
