I live in a so-called developing country (I'd call it a "banana republic", but it's a kingdom) and we don't have baby formula shortages either.
I'd say that only a failing state could have a baby formula shortage that lasts more than a few days.

When Joe Biden became president, the United States was coming out of the worst pandemic in more than a century. The country needed a steady hand who could unify everyone. Biden promised to be that kind of president.
But instead of implementing sound policies, Biden trashed the country. He declared open war on the U.S. energy industry on day one. He also pushed plans to print trillions more dollars and pump them into the ailing economy. It doesn’t take Warren Buffet to predict the impact of just those two decisions. It doesn’t take Jeff Bezos to recognize where this would end up, but belatedly Bezos has. Biden now finds himself lashing out at someone who is merely observing reality.
Squeezing the supply of the energy on which the modern economy depends while demand rebounded from the Democrat pandemic lockdowns would inevitably push energy prices higher. That’s middle-school level economics. Pumping trillions in funny money into the economy would make the dollars already in circulation -- and in your bank account -- worth less than they were worth yesterday.
Both of these inevitably led to the worst inflation that has wracked this country since the bad old days of Jimmy Carter. This is eating away at your savings while also making it more expensive for you to eat. This was predictable. In fact, Obama Treasury Secretary Larry Summers specifically warned the Biden administration. They didn’t listen.
Another side effect of lockdowns has been the supply chain mess. Biden laughed that one off too, then tried blaming Trump but the mess is his and he hasn’t put any serious effort into fixing it.
Biden is also not putting any serious effort into a side effect of the supply chain mess: the baby formula shortage.

They do when controlled by third world leaders. :(
We have enough illegal third world folks here to average out out into the second world category.
You know why the FDA is so incompetent? They are still mostly working from home. This is my theory. And since all have gotten vaxxed and boostered to the max. Since they work for the FDA
Then some of these FDA “workers” have brains that are operating at 75% or worse
First world countries do have baby formula shortages.
Case in point, a few years back China had a series of contamination scandals of their locally manufactured baby formula (true numbers are hard to come by but best estimates were hundreds of Chinese babies died and even more left with life long damage).
Australian and New Zealand baby formula suddenly became the hottest item in China and despite Australian and New Zealand manufacturers maxing out production and exporting as much as they were allowed by the Chinese government, there was a huge shortage in Australia and New Zealand.
What happened was Chinese who lived in Australia and New Zealand would go into the supermarkets, buy all the formula and sell it online and ship it back China for massive profits. Even when the supermarkets imposed purchase limits of 1 per shop there was literally teams of Chinese who would do shuttle runs of buying a tin, giving it to another who was waiting outside the store with shopping trollies then repeating the process. These teams could clear a fully stocked supermarket in under 5 minutes (this happened regularly at the supermarket my wife worked at).
That’s middle-school level economics.
That USED to be true. Now we teach them that there is no cost to spending trillions because it feels right.
There is no end to the stupidity of people who do not understand money.
I want to know why so many of these pending “crisis” somehow has Bill Gates positioning himself to profit ahead of time:

RE: First World Countries Don’t Have Baby Formula Shortages
The disUnited States in 2022 explained in eight words.
They do when one plant makes 40% of it and that plant has to close down for some reason.
“First World Countries Don’t Have Baby Formula Shortages”
Second world countries do. Things like that happen when they’re overseen by the Central Committee.
“First world countries do have baby formula shortages.”
The situation you cite was a result of foreign enemy action.
The current US situation is a result of domestic enemy action. I’ve given up on blaming anything on Biden’s cognitive decline. He’s had “handlers” for a couple years now.
It's also a way to introduce genetically altered "vaccines" right into the food chain for babies.
Someone mentioned that one plant makes 40% of US formula.
For a country like America, that is insane.
This ‘crisis’ was arranged just like the supply chain issues and any issue that has transportation as a major component.
The facilitators of these ‘crises’ are traitors. There are laws that deal with traitors.
No, but socialist/communist countries do. Welcome to Creepy Joe Xiden’s Amerika, comrade.
No baby formula shortages here in Japan . Our daughter is breast feeding her 9 month old son so even if there were a shortage no problemo .
Read what Abbott says about this. I know that this is their version, but if is even partly true this mess is 100% created by the FDA
My step daughter has to bottle feed her son because of her job.
The thing that would bug me is if the US sucks up all the stock of formula to make up for Biden's incompetence, it'll cause prices to skyrocket over here.
