Answer:

Three factors are driving the U.S. baby formula shortage: bacteria, a virus, and a trade policy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just three companies control the entire infant formula market in the United States. And half of all the formula sold in the U.S. gets to families through the federal Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. This is a result of poor quality control.
