Supply problems for baby formula continue, leaving many parents and caregivers with questions – including what they should do
Canada’s baby formula shortage has stabilized and the situation is improving, say officials including Health Canada, pediatricians and industry representatives.
Although it reopened in July 2022, “it has not yet returned to its normal production capacity,” says Health Canada’s website, which also notes the plant manufactured several products “that accounted for a significant portion” the Canadian market. Noting that powdered formula is often less expensive, Health Canada says more of it is being imported and sent to stores across the country.
There are limited options for specialty formulas, so the shortage has been “very stressful for parents who already were dealing with medically compromised kids,” Heard said.Health Canada agreed, adding that the shortage of hypoallergenic formulas has “largely subsided and is replaced by a limited, but stable supply.
In general, Canada also takes much longer than the United States to approve the same infant formula, said Chang. If parents have to try a new formula, she recommends transitioning gradually by mixing some of the new kind with the type they normally use so infants get used to the taste.
