OTTAWA — The federal government is looking for ways to bring more infant formula products to Canada while it overhauls regulations to prevent future shortages, an internal memo shows.
Many parents still struggle to find the right formula for their babies at a reasonable price, after last year's temporary shutdown of a U.S.-based manufacturing plant caused a major shortage of shipments to Canada.
Those changes could take years, though, so the government is considering a stopgap that would see the health minister exempt products from certain requirements. Health Canada also aims to continue to prioritize applications for new infant formula products and production sites. The department also expects that parents will be relieved to see the government work toward a more stable supply of products.
