With infant formula supplies slow to recover, San Jose leaders keep eye on price gouging

As shelves are left barren of infant formula, the San Jose City Council is making strategic plans to support struggling families.

A verbal update about the availability of infant formula was provided at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. Following last month’s City Roadmap Update, the city manager was asked to coordinate with the County of Santa Clara to report on the shortage’s socioeconomic impact on San Jose, and explore the possibility of declaring a regional state of emergency, similar to the executive order signed in New York City.
