Baby formula will remain hard to find until at least mid-July, industry executives said, despite efforts by manufacturers, the White House and regulators to ease a monthslong shortage.
Abbott Laboratories maker of Similac, the largest baby formula brand by sales in the U.S., plans to resume on Saturday production at its Sturgis, Mich., plant for the first time since February. That factory had produced roughly one-fifth of the infant formula in the country, and left many shelves empty when it issued a recall and paused operations there nearly four months ago.
