Canada facing shortage of allergy-friendly baby formula, feds say

Federal authorities are acknowledging that Canada is facing a shortage of formulas for babies with food allergies and some health conditions.

Health Canada says in a Thursday advisory that supplies of allergy-friendly formulas aren’t meeting demand in some provinces.

The statement comes amid widespread formula shortages south of the border after the shutdown of a large U.S. manufacturing plant, which also ships hypoallergenic formula to Canada.
