WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. House of Representatives plans to take up an emergency funding bill next week to address ongoing infant formula shortages and move to empower a federal nutrition program to tackle supply issues, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday.
In a letter to lawmakers, Pelosi said that in addition to a supplemental funding bill, the House will also consider legislation giving the Women, Infant and Children nutrition program “emergency authority … to address supply chain disruptions and recalls.”
