 [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] - Murray Kessler, the CEO of Irish-American firm Perrigo, said he expects shortages and heightened demand to last for the 'balance of the year'
- Perrigo produces around 8pc of the U.S. baby formula, and he said their factories in Ohio and Vermont were working at 115pc capacity to meet demand
- The shortage is a combination of pandemic supply chain problems, a monopoly of producers, and the February shutdown of a major manufacturer
- On Friday a visibly-irritated Joe Biden said that to have done more to prevent the crisis you would have needed to have been a mind reader
- Critics pointed out there has been a 10pc nationwide shortage since August; the Wall Street Journal raised the alarm in January; and the NEC in February
