The US baby formula shortage that politicians originally said would be fixed within weeks has dragged on for months - and there's no end in sight.

Formula stock rates have been dropping since the end of February, when the US Food and Drug Administration shut down a major formula plant and issued a recall of products manufactured there after an inspection found dangerous bacteria in several areas.

Struggling families

The closure exacerbated shortages caused by supply chain disruptions, leaving families struggling to find formula for infants and people with specific nutrition needs.

More than 20% of formula products - powder, ready-to-drink and liquid - have been out of stock for the past six weeks, according to data.
