- commandlinefan 3y agoWell, how could the government have enforced a law requiring baby formula to be available?
- revertmean 3y agoVery easily. There's no baby formula shortage in the UK or EU, so why not pass emergency legislation that allows them to provide the US market and pay the EU/UK producers up front to ramp up their production until the issue is resolved.

In principle, we can relax constraints. USA baby formula at the time had very strong constraints ("nutritional labelling must take this precise form", https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cms_ia/importalert_116.html https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cms_ia/importalert_116.html) which could be relaxed.
