Baby Formula: Future Controlled Substance
First we heard about baby formula being used to dilute drugs. Now come even darker tales of a black market for baby formula.
If you're really concerned about the quality and safety of baby formula you buy off the store shelf, at least one brand, Enfamil, offers an online store for convenience, though I don't think they did that because of store thieves.
In the future, maybe more grocery stores and pharmacies will opt to keep baby formula behind the counter with the prescription drugs and cigarettes. In the meantime, if you see any cans of the stuff that don't look right, or that are being passed or handled in ways that look suspicious, you might want to contact the FDA Complaint Coordinator for your area. If the situation has to do with a small, independent store, I wouldn't advise contacting the store owner first, because he or she may have been a willing party to the black market transactions.
