The 2020 stay at home baby boom, which increased demand that production levels can not keep up with. The Abbott plant shutdown and the recall of formula produced there. U.S. policy also restricts the importation of formula that [I]does[/I] meet FDA requirements. At high volumes, the tax on formula imports can exceed 17 percent. [/QUOTE]
