Documents obtained by ProPublica show officials at the Office of the United States Trade Representative resisted efforts to remove tariffs on baby formula imports during the 2022 shortage.
The baby formula shortage began in February 2022 after Abbott Nutrition shut down its largest plant and issued several formula recalls following bacterial contamination in its products.
The shortage was made worse by tariffs as high as 17.5 percent on formula imports.
