I think one could have anticipated the impact...due to the regulatory environment only large companies have the ability to get FDA clearance.

It is also much easier to consolidate manufacturing in one place...qualifying new equipment is very expensive.

From what has been in the news there are only about four large factories that account for the bulk of formula produced. And supplies were running low last fall:

Hmmm, don’t a lot of our antibiotics and vitamins come from a few sources in China? I know that and I’m not even in that line of business. But the basement mummy hasn’t figured this out.

So what happens if we defend Taiwan as Biden claimed would just today? Don’t those vitamins find their way into baby formula? How will we treat infections if our soldiers have to fight a war to defend Taiwan?
