BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE CAUSING FRUSTRATION
We heard about a baby formula shortage last summer but it didn't affect us so we never gave it much thought. All that has changed now as we're now grandparents of new twins and we hear of the difficulty our son & daughter-in-law are having trying to find baby formula. Different levels of government are working to secure a steady supply but so are other countries experiencing the same.
'There's nothing': Frustration as baby formula shortage persists in Edmonton area
An Edmonton family is frustrated as they continue going store-to-store searching for baby formula, saying many stores struggle to keep it stocked.
While Health Canada recognized a "critical" shortage of baby formula last summer, especially for specialized diets and conditions, a grandmother says she has been on the hunt to find some for the past two weeks.
Wendy Bracke has been caring for her eight-month-old grandson Emrys and was surprised that there were not only shortages of the brand they relied on but general stock levels for any product.
She estimates she's visited more than 20 stores, with few options available.
