It likely isn't the FDA's choice, there are a lot of statutory requirements under 21 USC 350a that requires inspections, audits and specific quality control measures that can't be set aside via CFR with an emergency rule making process. Changing these would require Congress to act, but bilateral food regulations on something as sensitive as baby formula is not a topic that lends itself to quick resolution.

You'll notice most of that law is giving authority to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, which is the same person that runs the FDA.

It does if the baby starves otherwise.
