Prohibit the sale of baby formula at more than the retail price
Create a law that prohibits the sale (by individuals or businesses) of baby formula/ follow on milk at more than the retail price. Formula is a necessity for a babies life, not profit.
Covid-19 is affecting stock levels in shops which has lead to the attempted sale of formula at a massive mark up. Formula is essential to a babies life, not for profit. Many families are struggling to find formula to feed their child, with some left with no option but to buy it at more than double retail price.
