 Over 2MN Adults in UK Can’t Afford to Eat Every Day - report

One in seven UK adults - 7.3mn – now fall under the ‘food-insecure’ bracket, up from 4.7mn in January, according to a food poverty report by Thinktank the Food Foundation.

The survey also reported a 57% jump in the proportion of households cutting back on food or skipping meals, while an estimated 2.6mn children report they now have smaller meals than usual, regularly skip meals altogether, or do not eat when they are hungry.

The Food Foundation said it was so shocked by its initial findings that it reran the survey on a wider basis, only to get the same results.

 US Faces Baby Formula Shortage (reports)

Major retailers in the US have begun rationing baby formula amid soaring out-of-stock rates - with some pharmacies and supermarkets reportedly limiting shoppers to three infant and toddler formula products per purchase in stores and online. (USA Today)

Finding formula has become a challenge for parents, CNN says, describing how some have to drive to neighboring states or go on social media and plead with strangers to share or even barter any extra supply they may have. 

The shortage has been exacerbated by a recall in February of three brands of powdered baby formulas due to concerns about bacterial infections and a shutdown of a major factory.
