Dutch baby food manufacturers cannot fill the American baby food shortage in the short term. This is partly due to the strict American regulations for importing baby food.
Famine in the United States is due to production problems. A baby food factory in the state of Michigan was closed after two babies died of a bacterial infection. The other two people became seriously ill. Production was halted and stocks were recalled.
The resulting shortage is exacerbated by the pre-existing supply problems caused by the corona virus and the hoarding of baby food by parents.
Dutch companies want to deliver
President Biden asked foreign manufacturers to help him. With this call, the Netherlands comes into the picture as a country that exports a lot of baby food to the whole world.
The CBS special report VNFKD shows that the largest part of the total production of baby and diet food in the Netherlands, about 78%, goes abroad.
A visit to the NOS shows that various baby food manufacturers are happy to respond to the call from the American government.
Only a few hurdles remain to be overcome. For example, so-called export certificates are mandatory for the export of baby food, reports the Dutch Association of Children’s and Diet Food Manufacturers (VNFKD).
“If they haven’t been exported to the United States yet, you have to get them first,” says VNFKD’s Carolien Frenkel. That’s why baby food can’t be shipped ‘just like that’ to the United States, says Frenkel.
