“As for baby formula regulations generally, labeling regulations and regulations that unnecessarily delay the manufacture and sale of baby formula should be re-evaluated. During the Biden Administration, there have been devastating baby formula shortages.”

Context:
This statement is a bit of a doozy. He’s advocating for deregulating baby formula, which can lead to more contamination and manufacturing problems, while also calling for safer food production. He uses the 2022 baby formula shortage as an example of the problem, even though that shortage was caused by bacterial contamination and the shutdown of the Abbott Nutrition Plant after several infants were hospitalized and two died. That’s staggering levels of cognitive dissonance. [Source]
