'SMOKE AND MIRRORS': Former FDA official slams Biden's response to baby formula shortage
"It's tough talk," Pitts told co-host Todd Piro."It's smoke and mirrors, and it's insulting to American parents. You know what makes up baby formula? Rice starch, corn syrup and protein concentrate from cows' milk. Commodities. There's no shortage. Never been a shortage."
Signs at a local Target inform shoppers that they are limited to 4 containers each due to the shortage in baby formula. "They should have talked to retail outlets to make sure there was no hoarding or panic buying, and then been transparent and truthful, with American parents throughout the process," Pitts said."But they didn't do that."supply has plummeted 40% in recent weeks, causing parents to panic as store shelves remain empty.
