What Really Caused the Baby Formula Shortage

A dire lack of baby formula in the United States in the past few weeks has been blamed on production deficiencies such as the small number of manufacturers and an inflexible supply chain.

Guest: Christina Jewett, an investigative reporter who covers the Food and Drug Administration for The New York Times.
