I gave up on the article about a quarter way through when they trivialized that labels may be in Dutch or German and the intended water to formula ratios are 1:1 instead of 1:2. That would mean an infant getting one half the calories a parent thinks they are, which does not seem trivial to me.

They could just add a sticker with directions in English, including the formula ratio. The only babies that would suffer are those whose parents don't follow basic directions when preparing their food - and those babies are likely in for a rough time anyway.
It seems crazy to think that a different formula ratio is so important it should necessitate a shortage of vital baby formula.

As opposed to none?
Again, there is a shortage. Thus the poorer end of the spectrum will go without.
